Practice Areas in Glendale & Los Angeles

DiJulio Law Group handles six areas of law: real estate, business and corporate, construction, cybersecurity and data privacy, mediation, and environmental law. In practice, that means property and disclosure disputes, contract and partnership conflicts, mechanics liens and payment claims, data breach response, agency enforcement matters, and the litigation that follows when those disputes cannot be resolved. The firm has represented clients in these areas for more than 35 years.

Yes. Initial consultations are free and confidential, with no obligation to retain the firm. Call (818) 502-1700 or request a consultation online. Bring or mention any key documents — a purchase agreement, disclosure form, lease, contract, lien notice, or agency letter — because a document usually answers more questions in five minutes than a description does in thirty.

The firm is based in Glendale and represents clients throughout Los Angeles County — including Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, and the City of Los Angeles — as well as Southern California and, for many matters, the rest of the state. Real estate and construction disputes are typically handled in the county where the property or project sits, so location matters less than familiarity with the courts and agencies involved.

Call an attorney when money or ownership is at stake and the other side has stopped cooperating: a seller who concealed a defect, a neighbor encroaching past the property line, a buyer refusing to close escrow, a title or easement problem surfacing mid-sale, a lender starting foreclosure, or a lease dispute heading toward eviction. Real estate agents and escrow officers cannot advise you on legal rights, and California claim deadlines run whether or not you know about them — the earlier the call, the more options remain.

California sellers and their agents must disclose known material defects affecting a property's value or desirability, including water intrusion and mold. If something was concealed, you may have claims for nondisclosure, misrepresentation, or fraud, with remedies that can include repair costs, diminished value, and in some cases rescission. Filing deadlines depend on the type of claim and when the problem was discovered, so have the disclosures and inspection reports reviewed promptly. See failure to disclose defects and mold claims.

California construction claims are governed by short, strictly enforced deadlines for preliminary notices, recording a mechanics lien, and filing suit to foreclose on it. Missing one can eliminate an otherwise valid claim entirely, which is why unpaid contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers should get advice before a notice period lapses rather than after. Owners facing a recorded lien have their own timing considerations. See mechanics liens and payment disputes.

Mediation is usually faster and less expensive than litigation and keeps the outcome in the parties' hands rather than a judge's or jury's, which makes it well suited to disputes between people who will keep dealing with each other — neighbors, business partners, owners and contractors. It works less well when one side will not negotiate in good faith, when a legal precedent or injunction is needed, or when critical facts are still hidden and require discovery. Our attorneys handle both, which is precisely why they can tell you which path fits. See mediation services.

Yes. Five languages are spoken at the firm, and Valeria Granata, Senior Litigator & Trial Attorney, represents Italian-speaking clients and Italian businesses operating in California. Italian-language information is available on our Italian pages.

Fees depend on the type of matter and how it is likely to proceed. Transactional and advisory work is often handled at an hourly rate or a flat fee for a defined scope, while disputes vary with whether they resolve in negotiation, mediation, or trial. You will get a clear explanation of the fee structure and the likely range before engaging the firm — and an honest assessment of whether the matter is worth pursuing at all.
