Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Litigation • Arbitration • Mediation

All California State and Federal Trial and Appellate Courts

At Rogers, Sheffield & Campbell, LLC, in Santa Barbara, California, our attorneys provide litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services to individuals and business clients residing in, or involved with businesses in, the Central Coast area. Our firm is sophisticated enough to handle cases of any size and degree of complexity, and is often used as Special Litigation Counsel for and with out-of-area entities and lawyers.

Each of our litigation and ADR attorneys has extensive experience as a trial lawyer, and is prepared to represent clients in any California state or federal trial or appellate court. In each case, the client works directly with the lawyer in charge. Litigation for larger cases is staffed by lawyers and paraprofessionals, and we employ computerized support, to achieve the powerful quality of representation usually associated with much larger and more expensive “big city” firms.

Our litigators also work closely with our transactional lawyers to attempt to avoid litigation if possible. When a conflict does arise, the issue may be resolved through alternative dispute resolution processes, including mediation and arbitration. However, when a case does require trial, we are aggressive, experienced, and very successful advocates for our client’s interests.

We offer substantial expertise to institutions, businesses, and individuals involved in disputes and formal lawsuits. Areas in which we represent clients in ADR or litigation include such things as:

• Breach of contract disputes
• Complex commercial litigation
• Real estate disputes
• Construction
• Commercial development
• Creditor rights in bankruptcy
• Fraud / Misrepresentation
• Intellectual property
• Non-disclosure agreements
• Probate
• Will and trust contests
• Insurance
• Personal injury
• Public entity and municipal matters
• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Specific performance
• Tortious interference
• Trade secrets
• Securities Law

We create efficient solutions designed to protect our clients’ interests. Each case requires a unique strategy, and with our proven track record of success we will litigate or negotiate for you with vision and know-how.
