Long Beach is one of Southern California's most active real estate markets — a city where landlords manage rent-controlled units, investors navigate multi-family acquisitions, and property disputes move fast. Whether you're dealing with a failed disclosure, a tenant who stopped paying, or an estate tied up in probate, the legal stakes are real and the timelines are short.
Potier Law Group is headquartered in Long Beach. We serve property owners, landlords, families, and small business owners throughout the city and surrounding communities. Our founding partner has practiced real property law since 1996 and brings more than 30 years of real estate industry experience — including prior ownership of a real estate company and leadership at First American Title Insurance Company — to every matter we handle.
Long Beach Property Owners and Investors Have Complex Legal Needs
Why Long Beach Landlords and Property Managers Work With Us
Landlord-tenant law in California is among the most tenant-protective in the country, and Long Beach adds its own local rent control and just-cause eviction requirements on top of state law. A notice served with the wrong language, the wrong deadline, or the wrong delivery method can invalidate an eviction filing entirely.
When a deadline expires, we file the same day. Our team handles notice drafting, unlawful detainer filings, and compliance reviews for individual landlords and larger property management companies alike. Clients speak directly with their attorney — not a paralegal passing messages — and calls are returned the same day.
Real Estate Litigation Experience That Comes From Inside the Industry
Most real estate litigation attorneys understand property law. Our founding partner understands the transaction from the inside — how escrow works, how title is examined, where disclosure obligations arise, and where agents and brokers commonly fall short of their duties. That depth of industry knowledge changes how we evaluate a case and how we present it.
We handle disclosure disputes, escrow disputes, broker and agent disputes, and title and property disputes for buyers, sellers, investors, and brokers throughout Long Beach. If a real estate transaction went wrong — before close, at close, or after — we can tell you quickly whether you have a viable claim and what it would take to pursue it.

Not always, but often yes. If the trust was properly funded and there is no dispute, formal probate may not be required. However, if assets were left outside the trust, if a family member is contesting the trust, or if there are questions about how the trustee is administering the estate, an attorney can protect your interests and help move the process forward.Not always, but often yes.
