At McQueen & Ashman LLP in Irvine, California, our lawyers understand the needs of business clients because we are business owners as well. We know that businesses need practical solutions to their legal problems, not endless years of litigation.

In addition to representing our clients in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and trial, our lawyers have a high rate of success in appeals, including a number of published opinions.

Business litigation victories
In a recent fraudulent inducement case involving the sale of a business in Orange County, our lawyers convinced the jury that our client should be relieved of an obligation to pay $2 million for the business, and paid compensatory damages in the amount of $765,000 plus their attorneys' fees. See Victories for more case examples.
