The Importance of Expert Real Estate Fraud & Litigation Services Near You

Real estate fraud can take many forms: forged signatures, predatory lending practices, false disclosures, or even fraudulent property flips. Without experienced legal counsel, victims are often left footing the bill for someone else’s wrongdoing. That’s where we come in.

Michael Geller has represented clients in complex real estate litigation for over two decades. His background in consumer protection law—particularly the Consumers Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Business Practices Act—gives him a unique edge in fraud-related cases. In fact, his legal work has shaped California law itself; one of his published cases (Martinez v. Kia) changed how Lemon Law protections are applied across the state.

Real Estate Fraud Cases We Handle in Riverside and Southern California

Because no two fraud cases are alike, we approach each one with a fresh perspective. Some of the most common real estate fraud issues we see in Riverside include:

• Sellers hiding defects during escrow
• Fraudulent title transfers
• Forged signatures on purchase agreements
• Predatory developer practices in fast-growing neighborhoods like Orangecrest or Sycamore Canyon

We also take on real estate agents or brokers who’ve failed in their duty to disclose or have misrepresented property conditions. Our legal strategies often involve using both state consumer laws and civil litigation tools to seek damages, rescission of contracts, or quiet title actions.

Why Choose a Local Real Estate Litigation Attorney?

Choosing a local attorney matters, especially in real estate fraud cases. Regulations, patterns of misconduct, and even local real estate customs vary by region—and a lawyer who knows the Riverside market can spot red flags others might miss.

Michael Geller’s involvement in the Riverside County Bar Association and his decades of teaching legal subjects like Sales and Secured Transactions under the UCC show his deep ties to both the legal and local communities.
