Nevada County and other Gold Country Counties are “Maverick Territory”
The foothills seem to attract individuals who are creative and like their open space. Mavericks sometimes have problems, but with the right approach, seemingly unsolvable disputes are resolved.
Local Experience and Resources
Since 1992, Chuck has helped clients throughout Nevada, Sierra, Placer and El Dorado Counties with both simple and complex private and commercial real estate transactions and real property disputes. He takes pride in having up-to-date online resources (West Law, California Association of Realtor contract form software, official Judicial Council forms, etc.), hands-on experience, knowledge and expertise in real estate law to plan and execute problem solving strategies, complete transactions efficiently and effectively, and creatively resolve real property disputes.
Easements Are Big Concern
Easement issues are the most common real estate legal problem in Nevada County and surrounding Gold Country areas. Ninety-five percent of easement disputes can be handled without expensive trials if clients are open to reasonable solutions, are provided with an accurate assessment and understanding of the facts and the law and desire to resolve the issue amicably, bypassing resentment, revenge and the illusion of a 100% victory.

Educated Clients Save Time and Money
Chuck encourages clients to save money and time by educating themselves prior to making an appointment with an attorney. The law, of course, can be misleading (opaque) and complicated, and internet sources are not always reliable, up-to-date or California-specific. However, Chuck recommends potential clients educating themselves and then verifying best strategies with competent real estate counsel. Click on links before for reliable resources.
