Job Summary
Landlord–Tenant Case (~$1M in Dispute) – Los Angeles County

I am a landlord (commercial Property) with an active landlord–tenant dispute, with total claimed damages in the range of approximately 1 million dollars, and I am seeking litigation counsel to take the case primarily on a contingency fee basis, with a modest upfront payment.
Key case details: Jurisdiction: Santa Monica Superior Court
Type of case: Civil landlord–tenant / real estate dispute (not a simple unlawful detainer).
Amount in dispute: Approximately $1,000,000 + (unpaid rent, consequential losses, and related damages).
Posture: Majority of discovery has already been completed; there may be some limited follow‑up discovery and motion practice before hearing/trial.
Status: Case is already on file and approaching the stage where it needs focused trial preparation and presentation.
File condition: Pleadings, discovery responses, key documents, and communications are organized to minimize ramp‑up time for new counsel.
Fee structure I am looking for: Primarily contingency, with counsel earning a significant percentage of any judgment, settlement, or recovery. I can pay a limited initial fee, but I cannot support a full hourly litigation budget. Open to a hybrid (modest, capped hourly plus higher contingency percentage) if that aligns incentives.
Ideal attorney: California‑licensed litigator comfortable with landlord–tenant and real‑estate‑related disputes. Early‑ to mid‑career and hungry for courtroom experience, including dispositive motions and trial. Strategic, responsive, and willing to drive the case through hearing/trial and enforcement of any judgment.
If you are interested, please let me know: Your experience with landlord–tenant or real estate litigation, especially in higher‑value disputes; Your preferred contingency or hybrid structure for a case with ~1M at stake; and Your availability for a brief introductory call this week or next.

Thank you
