Property disagreements can affect how you use, enjoy, and transfer land. The Law Office of Jeffrey D. Anson provides California civil litigation representation in selected real property disputes, with consultations available remotely by Zoom or phone.

Matter types we handle
Matters may involve, among others:
Easements — rights to use another’s land for a specific purpose, and disputes over scope, interference, or abandonment
Encroachments — structures or uses that cross property lines
Boundary disputes — disagreements about where lines fall and how surveys, deeds, and occupancy interact
Quiet title actions court proceedings to clarify ownership interests and remove clouds on title
• Partition — dividing jointly owned real property, or obtaining other court-ordered relief when co-owners cannot agree
• Trespass — unauthorized entry or use of land
• Nuisance — interference with the use and enjoyment of property
Other related civil matters may arise depending on the facts.
What to expect
Every matter is different. In general terms, civil real property disputes often involve some combination of:
Initial consultation — outline the dispute, identify key documents (deeds, surveys, photos, correspondence), and discuss possible next steps
Factual investigation — gather and organize records, maps, and communications
Legal analysis — identify claims, defenses, and procedural options under California law
Strategy and communication discuss goals, risks, timelines, and whether negotiation, formal demand, ADR, or litigation may be appropriate
Litigation steps when needed — pleadings, discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation as the case requires
No particular outcome is promised. Results depend on the facts, the law, the forum, and many factors outside any lawyers control.
Who this helps
This practice area may be relevant if you are:
• A homeowner, co-owner, or neighbor facing a boundary, easement, or encroachment issue
• Considering or responding to a quiet title or partition action
• Dealing with alleged trespass or private nuisance affecting your property
• Seeking a clear explanation of options before deciding whether to litigate
Geographic focus is primarily San Diego County, with California matters considered as appropriate for a virtual practice.
