Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I've represented people as far afield as Mendocino, Nevada, Merced, and San Diego Counties. With a series of satellite offices, Hanson Law Firm can, and has, represented clients throughout California. You've paid your (expensive) E&O premiums right on time. You get a claim, and then your insurance company refuses to honor your policy.
You need to sue your insurance company, and you'd better have an expert trial lawyer on your side. When your neighbor claims a prescriptive easement for ingress and egress should be retaken by use of the doctrine of adverse possession. Is this a secret code meaning that ADR has an odor? No. ADR stands for "Alternative Dispute Resolution" which is typically Mediation or Arbitration.
I'm a convert. So much so, I'm acting as a real estate ODR mediator myself. Anywhere in the USA. You pay those expensive insurance premiums every month and what you are paying for is peace of mind. Then someone sues you, you contact your insurance company, and they say "So sorry."

Services
I have been a broker for over 30 years, and in a past career sold both residential and commercial real estate for a living.
Almost all the lawyers who work with me at HLF have been, or are, brokers, and have also sold both residential and commercial real estate for a living as well.
Three of us, for those same thirty years.

I know the business of real estate.
I represent real estate brokerages and have represented construction, mortgage, and development companies, and private individuals, as well, via small satellite offices throughout the state of California, in both leasing and sales transactions, as well as in related litigation.

Hanson Law Firm (HLF) is a real-estate-centric law firm composed of trial lawyers with decades of experience in California's residential and commercial brokerage business.
Members of my team of senior attorneys have served as general counsel for 1031 exchange intermediaries and commercial brokerages, as risk managers for large (and small) residential brokerage companies and as an associate dean of a law school.
HLF is firmly set in its real property.
That kind of expertise allows me to predict issues and find solutions-all so our clients can sleep at night, knowing my staff and I have got their backs.

My practice has a focus on real estate related matters (contracts gone bad, easement disputes, boundary line errors, fraud in disclosures, negligence by broker, etc.).
I also sue E & O (Errors and Omissions) insurance carriers for "bad faith", that is, when an insurance company denies or tries to under-pay a claim.
I spend a lot of time in a court room.
I like it there.
I'm comfortable trying a case.
It suits me.
It doesn't work for everyone.

As a broker myself for about 40 years, you would be right to expect that I help them out when I can.
In a past life, I sold commercial real estate (I'm a CCIM) and residential real estate.
I've prepared risk-management seminars, I've conducted DRE pre-audits, I've looked over a broker's shoulders when in the middle of a complex transaction, I've given my $0.02 when asked - sometimes I just volunteer it even when I'm not asked.
But, just because I was a broker doesn't mean I won't sue the pants off one when s/he screws up.

You paid big premiums for insurance, then, when you need the coverage, you submit a claim.
Only to have the claim denied for some bogus reason, or because of a clever interpretation - by the carrier - of an ambiguous term of the policy.
That's when we step in.
As a California insurance Bad Faith attorney, my staff and I do our best to help you understand this complex area of the law, and seek justice if justice is due.
Bad Faith insurance claims are all about contracts, or rather how one type of contract gets broken.
