Litigation

At Valensi Rose, we approach litigation differently. We know that drawn-out legal battles and runaway costs can be just as damaging as the dispute itself. That’s why we develop smart, aggressive strategies that not only protect our clients’ interests, but also make financial sense. We always consider costs and outcomes from the client’s point of view.

No two cases or clientsare the same. Whether we’re prosecuting a claim or mounting a defense, our strategies are custom-tailored, not templated. We don’t do one-size-fits-all litigation.

Our clients benefit from close collaboration among senior attorneys who bring deep experience across a range of industries and legal disciplines.

Areas in which we have successfully handled complex disputes include:

  • Trusts and estates
  • Real estate and construction
  • Insurance
  • Employment
  • Intellectual property
  • Entertainment and media
  • Business and commercial matters

We represent clients in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts at both the trial and appellate levels. Over the years, we’ve handled thousands of disputes, building a strong track record of results.

Our Litigation Group is also highly experienced in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including binding arbitration, mediation, and other pre-litigation strategies. We’re skilled in securing provisional remedies, such as injunctions and asset freezes, to protect rights and preserve the status quo during lawsuits and appeals.

At every stage, we focus on delivering strategic, cost-conscious advocacy that moves cases toward resolution,not escalation.

Successful Outcomes

We’ve helped clients resolve high-stakes disputes across industries, from trust and estate battles to commercial litigation and real estate conflicts. Here are just a few of our recent results:

  • Secured a $22 million judgment for beneficiaries of a family trust in a contested estate trial, and successfully petitioned for the appointment of a neutral trustee.
  • Recovered a luxury property on behalf of an institutional lender in multi-forum litigation, including state, federal, and bankruptcy courts. Obtained an early court order granting possession before foreclosure.

  • Obtained dismissal of a penalty assessment issued by the California Labor Commission over alleged unemployment insurance violations.

  • Won summary judgment granting our client possession of a luxury home after overcoming two bankruptcy filings and two separate lawsuits by the borrower.
  • Resolved a federal cybersquatting case, securing a permanent injunction, domain name and email transfer, and takedown of infringing social media accounts.
