WHAT’S NEW FOR 2013?
Continued Real Estate with Even More Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice

WHAT CONTINUES FOR 2013?
Representation for Any Party in a Real Estate Transaction
As brokers and attorneys,Nathan Fransen, Esq. and
Paul J. Molinaro, Esq. provide professional legal representation to all of the individuals and small businesses involved in real estate transactions. We represent buyers, sellers, tenants, landlords, borrowers, private ("hard money") lenders, agents and brokers (real estate and mortgage), property inspectors, escrow officers, appraisers, termite inspectors, and more. We provide legal representation to plaintiffs or defendants in State (California) or Federal Court, arbitration, or mediation. We represent clients in matters involving breach of sales contract, listing agreement disputes, all mortgage matters, failures to disclose defects, short sale contract review, commission disputes, protection of seller's rights, Department of Real Estate defense, and white collar real estate crime defense. Also, for those buyers/borrowers looking to avoid problems before they occur, we offer a paid consultation to review your sales contract and loan documents before signing. Call us for more details.
Representation for People Injured in Accidents (Personal Injury Law)
We handle matters involving serious injuries as a result of motor vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, boat, scooter, quad) accidents, victims of drunk drivers, people who fall or suffer other injuries in commercial buildings (stores or offices), people with physical injuries from defective products (power tools, electric appliances, mechanical devices), victims of dog or other animal bites, and more. We offer free initial consultations on personal injury matters.
Representing Patients Who Are Hurt by Their Doctor (Medical Malpractice)
Medical malpractice is a field that shares the complexities of two multifaceted fields – law and medicine. As an attorney and a physician, Paul J. Molinaro, M.D., J.D. understands both fields and can provide a level of understanding that many other attorneys lack. If you have suffered a catastrophic injury as a result of the actions of a medical professional, please call Paul J. Molinaro, M.D., J.D. for a free initial consultation. He handles cases involving birth trauma, botched surgery, anesthesia problems, misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, medication errors, and more.
Compliance Training and Review for Real Estate Professionals
Because many real estate professionals find themselves named as defendants simply as a result of not knowing the laws which apply to them, Fransen & Molinaro, LLP offers training seminars and education to the staff of real estate, mortgage, and escrow offices. While we represent individual real estate professionals after trouble arises, we enjoy educating real estate professionals about how to avoid problems before they arise. In some cases, our seminars are free. Please call us for details.
Bankruptcy (Chapter 7 or 13)
Our bankruptcy department gained its excellent reputation under attorney Gregg A. Eichler who had practiced for over thirty years before passing away suddenly on November 12, 2011. He was not only respected as a highly skilled bankruptcy lawyer by the legal community, but loved by our clients and considered a friend by our staff. We truly miss him as we continue to handle bankruptcy clients with the same caring and skill that we learned from him.
Debt and Credit Law
While bankruptcy is one option that people in debt may consider, there are other issues involving debtors and creditors. Fransen & Molinaro, LLP also represents people with regard to these other issues such as representing borrowers who suffered harassment by creditors who constantly call, write threatening letters, and take other illegal collection actions in direct violation of the laws of California or the United States. We know how to stop this kind of abuse and obtain compensation for victims. Courts take these matters seriously, so do we, and so should you.
General Civil Litigation Matters (Breach of Contract, Fraud, Misrepresentation)
Many individuals and small businesses fall victim to scam artists who lie, cheat, and steal or get bullied by larger businesses who use their size to their illegal advantage. Fransen & Molinaro, LLP likes to level the playing fields by providing aggressive and professional representation for the "little guy." If you are the victim of a contract “gone bad,” fraud, misrepresentation, or negligence, please contact Fransen & Molinaro to learn how we can help.
Estate Planning (Wills and Living Trusts)
Many of our local residents are young parents who have no will or trust and no knowledge of what they need and retirees with outdated wills and trusts. We provide the advice needed to determine what documents are necessary and then draft those documents for our clients.
