The Firm's Experience

Wasserman, Comden, Casselman & Esensten, LLP has worked on cases in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. The lawsuits range in size from tens of thousands of dollars to tens of millions of dollars. Because of the complexity of issues and the number of litigants involved, these cases are often best negotiated and settled, rather than litigated before a judge or jury.

To take just one example, hundreds of homeowners in a newly built housing project filed a lawsuit through the firm, complaining that the sliding glass patio doors leaked when it rained. The $30 million lawsuit entangled the developer and numerous subcontractors, including framers, glaziers, the alarm companies, and each entity's insurance carrier.

Since its founding in 1976, the firm has garnered extensive experience and knowledge about California construction law. Contact us to consult with our lawyers.
