Shanna Elizabeth Welsh

So. Cal. Realty Law works with landlords and investors to protect their unique real estate investments. We will not let anyone else take away the wealth you worked so hard to build. This full-service real estate law firm was founded in 2011.  We represent real estate professionals, property owners, landlords, and commercial tenants, to resolve disputes of all kinds.  WE DO NOT REPRESENT RESIDENTIAL TENANTS.

The legal services offered by the firm include commercial and residential real estate transactions, negotiation, civil litigation, mediation, arbitration, unlawful detainer (eviction) - landlords only, commercial lease drafting, commercial tenant lease review and eviction, HOA disputes, and a wide variety of other real estate-related services.  We handle disputes deriving from real estate transactions, real estate fraud litigation, and quiet title litigation. Attorney Welsh-Levin maintains a California Bureau of Real Estate license as a real estate broker, and is a member of the California Association of Realtors(r), as well as the national and local associations of Realtors(r).  

If we do not handle the subject matter, we will refer you to another respected professional who does.  The office also handles defamation issues, such as slander, libel, Anti-SLAPP litigation, and civil appeals.

As a personal interest and mission, my firm is proud of its extensive knowledge and ability to work with distressed homeowners, including options to avoid foreclosure, working with Fair Housing laws, and assisting REALTORS® with difficult transactions, short sales, and general legal consultation relating to real estate transactions.

On the personal side, I focused my undergraduate eduction on the studies of Anthropology and Music, but my college professor and saxophone instructor, Dr. Nathan Davis at the University of Pittsburgh, suggested that I attend law school after college graduation.  This is the best advice that I have ever received.  The practice of law appeals to me and is well suited to my personality.  I enjoy my law practice and appreciate my niche in real estate.  I am thankful to be able to focus exclusively on real estate law.  I love having a dual profession, and working with other real estate professionals.

In 2015, I became a mom, and this role also suits me well.  I love being a mom.  Now that I have children, I realize that my law office was like my first "child".   I would say that I have an enjoyable and well-rounded life.
