James E. Mahfood

The Law Office of James E. Mahfood is an independent private practice law firm.

Solo practitioner James E. Mahfood maintains a network of associates in all aspects of personal and business law. We typically represent individuals and small to medium-sized businesses in litigation and non-litigation matters.

We offer extensive experience in:

• civil litigation
• business legal issues
• personal legal issues

We specialize in:

• general business law
• real property matters
• certain consumer protection issues

We aggressively pursue your best interests in civil disputes by negotiation or litigation, using the court system or arbitration as appropriate. Our clients receive efficient and cost-effective legal services without the many layers of personnel found in a large firm.

Because we are a small firm, the attorney, rather than a less experienced associate or paralegal, handles every client's case. Legal assistants do the appropriate administrative matters, resulting in cost savings to the client.

Our fee structure is hourly and/or contingency-based, depending on case type. Discounts are available on advanced retainers.

Our law office serves clients in San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, Trabuco Canyon, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, and all of South Orange County.
