LAESQUIRE — Litigation & Mediation

When It's Time
to Fight for Your Rights.

We do our best to resolve disputes through mediation first — protecting relationships and reducing costs. But when litigation is the only path to the right result, LAESQUIRE fights for families in Chatsworth, Northridge, Porter Ranch, Granada Hills, Woodland Hills, West Hills, Simi Valley, and across the San Fernando Valley.

Practice Areas

Litigation services we offer.

While mediation is always our first choice, some disputes require aggressive legal representation. LAESQUIRE handles these areas across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.

📜

Trust & Will Litigation

Trust and will contests arise when family members dispute the validity, interpretation, or administration of an estate document — often at the worst possible moment. We represent both petitioners and respondents in these sensitive proceedings.

  • Will contests and validity challenges
  • Trust interpretation disputes
  • Trustee removal and surcharge actions
  • Undue influence and capacity claims
  • Beneficiary disputes and accounting challenges
📋

Contract Litigation

Contract disputes can arise in business transactions, real estate deals, service agreements, and personal arrangements. When a breach cannot be resolved through negotiation, litigation may be necessary to protect your rights and recover damages.

  • Breach of contract claims
  • Business agreement disputes
  • Real estate contract disputes
  • Buy-sell agreement enforcement
  • Service contract disputes
🛡️

Insurance Denial Litigation

When an insurance company wrongfully denies a valid claim — whether for property damage, life insurance, or business losses — you have the right to fight that decision. As a licensed P&C insurance agent and attorney, Shekhar brings a unique perspective to insurance denial cases.

  • Property and casualty claim denials
  • Life insurance benefit disputes
  • Business interruption claim denials
  • Bad faith insurance practices
  • Coverage interpretation disputes

Title & Easement Litigation

Real property disputes — including boundary disputes, easement rights, title defects, and ownership conflicts — require an attorney with both legal and real estate knowledge. Shekhar's dual credentials as an attorney and licensed Realtor provide a distinct advantage in these cases.

  • Title defect and cloud-on-title actions
  • Easement rights and access disputes
  • Boundary and encroachment disputes
  • Quiet title actions
  • Partition actions for jointly owned property
Mediation First

We always try mediation before litigation.

Litigation is expensive, time-consuming, and public. For disputes involving family members, business partners, or ongoing relationships — where the outcome matters but the relationship also matters — mediation offers a path to resolution that is faster, less costly, and more private than a courtroom battle.

LAESQUIRE explores mediation for trust and will disputes, divorce-related settlement issues, contract disagreements, and neighbor/property disputes. When both parties are willing to negotiate in good faith, mediation frequently produces better outcomes for everyone — and preserves what can still be preserved of the relationship.

When mediation is not possible or fails, we litigate aggressively. We know how difficult these situations can be, and we will guide you through the process with care — keeping you informed every step of the way.
