Areas of Practice
Foreclosure Attorneys
Smart Law Offices represents homeowners facing foreclosure after receiving a Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee’s Sale. In many instances, the foreclosure occurring is illegal and should not be taking place. However, California is a nonjudicial foreclosure state - meaning your home is auctioned off and title documents are changed without supervision. As a result, the only way to stop a foreclosure is through legal action. We take pride in clearly explaining the complicated foreclosure process to our clients and helping them navigate the laws and programs available to help them avoid foreclosure and get compensated, such as California’s Homeowner Bill of Rights, Unfair Competition, and Debt Collection laws.
Mortgage Loan Servicing Attorneys
Many homeowners encounter issues with their lender or mortgage servicing company before a wrongful foreclosure begins. Lenders and servicers engage in this fraudulent and deceptive conduct as they can increase their profits by keeping you delinquent and in forcing you into foreclosure. This conduct often occurs during the loan modification process, but also includes improper charges to your loan account, failing to properly credit payments, and other illegal conduct. If you are experiencing these or similar issues, we can discuss them with you and let you know what we think about how you should proceed.
Fence, Tree, Property & Boundary Line Dispute Attorneys
Fence, tree, property, and boundary line disputes among neighbors can be contentious and expensive. The law surrounding theses issues is also quite complex. Smart Law Offices has advised and handled many such cases for homeowners throughout California. If you have a fence, tree, property, or boundary dispute with a neighboring property owner, call us today to find out your rights and what you can do to enforce them.
Homeowners Association Attorneys
If you are one of the millions of people in California living under a tyrannical Homeowners Association (HOA), you realize how much power it can have over you and your property and how little recourse you have when facing a Board, Landscape and/or Architectural Committee on your own. We have represented many homeowners against their HOAs and obtained damages, permanent injunctions, and reimbursement of attorney’s fees.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty & Breach of Contract Attorneys
Like attorneys, real estate and mortgage brokers, and their agents, have fiduciary and contractual duties to their clients that require them to be honest and candid with the person they are representing. They will spend the majority of their time working independently of the client, such as by negotiating with other parties, coordinating inspections, and reviewing documents. The brokers and their agents are ultimately required to act in the client’s best interest in making decisions for them and reporting information in an open and honest manner. A breach of the real estate or mortgage broker or agent’s fiduciary duty to the client usually occurs when the broker or agent decides to act in ways that benefit the broker or agent instead of the client’s best interest.
Civil Litigation Attorneys
Civil litigation is a term that applies to any legal dispute where someone seeks money or other relief in a court of law for a violation of rights. If you find yourself in danger of being sued, have already been sued, or want to explore how you may recover for someone else causing harm to you, call Smart Law Offices for a no-cost consultation. We have filed and defended a diverse array of lawsuits including helping our clients get money back from bank scams and bad loans and defending our clients in unmeritorious lawsuits against them.

“We were on the brink of losing our family home to a foreclosure sale before we came to see David Smart. After discussing our goals and what options were available to us, he took our case to Court, fought our lender, and stopped the foreclosure sale. As a result of the settlement he obtained for us, our payments are lower and we are no longer underwater on our home!”

“From our first conversation, David Smart made me feel at ease with my situation. David fought tremendously hard to save our house even going as far as to stay late at the office to allow my wife and I to come and sign necessary documents. He offers free consultations and always lays out a clear and direct plan of action keeping you informed and up to date along the way. I am so glad I made the call to Smart Law Offices.
