Downey, California, Business Law Attorney
Owning property and owning or managing a business presents countless and often unexpected legal challenges. Errors or fraudulent activity can taint what would be a routine transfer of a business or piece of real property. Government agencies can shut down businesses for violations of regulatory provisions, leading to financial challenges and crises. In addition, breaches of fiduciary duty and employment law issues can result when managers and officers leave a firm, taking valuable proprietary information with them.

Thorough, Personalized and Creative Legal Solutions
The law office of Orloff and Associates has a long history of success in discovering inventive solutions for hard-to-fix challenges. Their most recent success involves an elder abuse case from June of 2009.
The case of Mansdorf v. Giacomazza, involving an 88 year old man who had become the trustee of the family trust upon the death of his brother. The primary asset of the trust was 1300 acres of Malibu coastline, valued at $400,000,000. Giacomazza, through lies and duress had swindled Mr. Mansdorf of the property. Orloff and Associates was able to demonstrate to the court the lies and lack of credibility of Giacomazza and obtained a judgment returning the property to the family trust.
In Valov vs. DMV, our client opposed being photographed for a driver's license on religious grounds. Rather than citing the law as a reason for declining the case, we took the case and had the law changed by arguing that our client's case did not involve a compelling state interest. By successfully arguing that another standard applied to our client's situation, we protected his rights and many others facing the same issue.
Many business law cases overlap into the area of civil rights and even criminal law. If government bureaucracy has shut down your business or a partner leaves and takes client lists, vital company information and needed technology, we can defend your interests and rights on many levels. Our lead lawyer, Paul Orloff, has a degree in business from the University of Southern California and has run his own business - he truly understands the challenges facing small- and medium-sized businesses.
