Southern California Commercial Real Estate Attorneys
Los Angeles Judicial and Non-Judicial Foreclosure Lawyers
The difference between a judicial foreclosure and a non-judicial one is fairly straightforward. In a non-judicial foreclosure, no lawsuit is filed and the lender's or owner's recourse is simply to retake possession of the property. By contrast, a judicial foreclosure—the kind far more common in "down" markets—involves filing a lawsuit in order to obtain a court order for eviction.

At Oswald & Yap LLP, our attorneys have extensive experience with commercial real estate issues that ranges from representing commercial tenants in the negotiation, drafting, and review of lease agreements to providing lenders' representation in seeking judicial foreclosure on a small storefront property.

Whichever side of the issue your interests lie on—be aware that recent changes in the United States Bankruptcy Code and other areas of the law may have had an effect on the options available to you and the issues that need consideration.
