Description

Since 1983, Gilchrist & Rutter Professional Corporation has been providing highly responsive, top quality legal services to a broad array of real estate and business clients with whom we develop enduring relationships. We vigorously represent and counsel our clients in order to solve their problems and achieve their objectives efficiently, creatively and energetically. Our firm's combination of outstanding academic qualifications and solid practical experience in sophisticated business transactions and commercial litigation allows our lawyers to obtain optimum results for our clients.

Representing owners of manufactured housing communities for over 30 years, Gilchrist & Rutter is experienced in every aspect of the industry.

Our attorneys have extensive experience in working with general plans, general plan amendments, zoning changes and other permits pursuant to the Planning and Zoning Law, to assure a sound constitutional basis to guide development. We also have a track record of successfully defending these plans and amendments in court. Our experience extends to specific plans, which are especially appropriate when a development project faces unusual environmental or phasing constraints, and needs both flexibility and control.

Our Manufactured Housing Practice is the first choice by California park owners seeking to subdivide their properties into resident owned communities. We have extensive experience in local rent control interpretation, rent increase applications and litigation.

Obtained favorable Court of Appeal judgment dismissing a case against our client for breach of contract and promissory fraud. The case sought damages and specific performance based on a claim that our client would provide the plaintiff with financial support for her lifetime. The Los Angeles Superior Court granted our demurrer, and the Court of Appeal affirmed the ruling.
