The firm has enjoyed a lengthy relation with The West Coast Bank, formerly The Commercial Bank. Over the years representing the bank's interests, our lawyers have handled varied collections issues. We also advise numerous private businesses concerning their credit and collection policies.

• Prosecuting various judicial foreclosure actions of mortgages and deeds of trust.
• Prosecuting nonjudicial foreclosures of deeds of trust and strict foreclosures of land sale contracts.
• Representing secured and unsecured creditors in various bankruptcy matters.
