Santa Barbara and Ventura Real Estate Attorney
At the law office of Dennis J. Shea, in Santa Barbara, California, I have more than 25 years of practice experience, the last 17 years as a sole practitioner. When you hire me to handle your bankruptcy, real estate or estate matter, you will work directly with me throughout the legal process. I strive at all times to provide you with the counsel and information you need to make educated decisions that protect your future.
I offer a free phone consultation to all clients. To schedule an appointment with an experienced lawyer, contact my office by e-mail or call me at 805-284-9703.
My Approach
I bring a comprehensive knowledge of the law to individuals with questions or concerns about personal bankruptcy, real estate, or estate and probate matters. Nonetheless, I understand that success in a legal controversy customarily involves more than a strong knowledge of the law. I will take the time to learn the specific details of your case, as well as your unique objectives, so that I can apply my skill, knowledge and experience to get the outcome you seek.
I also understand that different methods work better for different clients. I will represent you in litigation, if necessary, but also help clients resolve matters through private mediation or arbitration, as well as negotiated settlements.
My Practice
I focus my legal counsel on matters involving:
- Consumer or personal bankruptcy filings — I will assist you with all issues related to Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions, filing and submitting all required paperwork and protecting your interests in meetings with creditors, the trustee or the bankruptcy court.
- Real estate matters — I represent clients in real estate transactions, from the negotiation of terms to the closing. I also handle most types of real estate litigation, from land use and zoning to foreclosure proceedings.
- Estate and probate litigation — I litigate for parties in will contests and disputes involving living trusts.
