Property Boundary and Easement Issues

Jack was instrumental in litigating a property boundary and easement issue with a developer next door. The developer was difficult and his counsel was equally as difficult, failing to respond to phone calls, texts, and emails to the point of even refusing to acknowledge receipt of Jack's emails. Thro...ugh it all Jack kept us informed, told us what to expect and what our options were. I would definitely recommend Jack LaPedis to anyone needing help with a real estate issue.

Jack Marshall LaPedis

Jack has been a colleague of mine for over 2 years now and always conducts himself in a professional and most importantly, ethical manner. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and is always the voice of reason......he will evaluate your situation and tell you what steps will bring the most value to ...you - He is not just out to bill you for his own benefit. He helped me and my husband personally with several questions regarding a flood that impacted our property and our home that was the fault of the City of LA. He helped us to ensure we had all the necessary paperwork and spoke with the right folks to ensure we were adequately compensated and to avoid a lawsuit. I highly recommend Jack often and will continue to do so! Thanks Jack.

Excellent Representation!

We had a false lien filed against our home, and so we contacted Jack to represent us. From the start, he was very fair, giving us a realistic idea as to how the process would go, and the potential hurdles we might face. Any time we had questions or concerns, Jack was readily available to address them..., which we really appreciated. We are still knee deep in our case, but we truly feel as though we have the most knowledgable and informed attorney to deal with this. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal representation!

A great guy who is a great lawyer

A few years ago, after my mother passed away, my family had the task of selling her home. The sale went smoothly until during escrow the neighbor decided to landscape his back yard. It’s hard to know how the buyer detected this, but the new fence he built was 2” onto the sale property. Jack LaPedis i...s the husband of my dear friend and he was the first one we called when the buyer told us “no deal” unless this new fence was removed prior to the close of impending escrow. Jack explained clearly and thoroughly multiple times, to many family members, the most effective ways to deal with what we thought was a losing situation. He helped us construct incredibly strong letters, based on the law that we were able to send to the buyer and the neighbor. This situation would have caused us to lose a very important sale, but Jack Lapedis consulted with us all the way to a very successful and profitable conclusion. Of course, we did have to make some financial concessions in the end, but Jack with his expertise in this area guided us through each and every negotiation. In the end we felt very satisfied with the outcome all due to Jack’s guidance. You never know when you will need a great lawyer. I totally recommend that when you do, you call Jack Lapedis. He is a great attorney who really knows his “stuff”, and he is a great guy who will give it his all to help you out.

"I have been part of the same networking group with Jack for the past two years. During that time I have personally come to learn that he is extremely dedicated to his clients. He is a lawyer who is more interested in obtaining a good outcome for his clients than increasing his billable hours, which is uncommon. I have also personally referred clients and lawyers to him. If you need a lawyer to represent you in a business or a real estate matter, you should consider contacting Jack."
