Legal Help for Real Estate Fraud Victims in Los Angeles

Real estate fraud in Los Angeles has become more common in recent years, with rising cases of forged deed transfers, false disclosures, and predatory sales tactics targeting both homeowners and investors. When you discover that your trust has been violated, it’s not just a legal matter—it’s personal.

Our office handles claims involving fraudulent transactions, undisclosed property damage, and deed theft that can leave property owners at risk of losing their homes. We build straightforward legal strategies focused on protecting your rights, recovering losses, and restoring ownership when deceit has taken place.

The Importance of Skilled Real Estate Litigation in Los Angeles

Los Angeles real estate law involves a unique blend of local regulations, aggressive market activity, and complex title histories. Fraud can show up as:

• Forged signatures or documents
• Deceptive escrow or closing statements
• False disclosures about property condition or value
• Predatory lending or foreclosure rescue scams
• Fraudulent title or deed transfers

Attorney Michael Geller has spent more than two decades representing victims of real estate fraud and consumer deception throughout California. His background in consumer protection law—including the Consumers Legal Remedies Act and the Unfair Business Practices Act—gives him an advantage in pursuing both civil damages and equitable relief. His published appellate work has even influenced statewide consumer protections.

Why Hire a Real Estate Fraud Attorney in Los Angeles

Not every law firm that advertises real estate experience understands the nuances of fraud litigation. We focus on a narrow area of practice so that every client gets in-depth legal attention, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

When you work with Michael Geller, you get the focus of a local advocate and the litigation depth of a seasoned trial attorney. He is admitted to all U.S. District Courts in California, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court—credentials that matter when complex fraud cases move beyond state court.
