Contract And Breach Of Contract
Mr. Edmunds has litigated virtually every type of contract, commercial, corporate, and business dispute. He brings a deep command of the law to the interpretation and drafting of contracts—whether simple or complex, written or oral—and applies the governing legal principles with precision.

He has successfully represented both employees and employers, consistently securing favorable outcomes through skilled advocacy and sound legal judgment.
Real Estate And Land-use
There is virtually no type of real estate problem or dispute Eric Edmunds has not handled in 37 years of experience. These include boundary and neighbor disputes, easement problems, landlord-tenant, construction defects, representation of real estate brokers, mortgage foreclosures, condominium disputes including Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's), escrow disputes, and many others. His focus is on problem solving, and, when possible, getting the deal to close.
Corporate Divorce
Business disputes between partners and shareholders in closely-held corporations and LLC's are a fact of life. But making a split or a buy-out is not always easy, and fraught with pitfalls. Eric Edmunds has extensive experience with the legal process involved in a corporate divorce, and with the process of negotiation toward that goal.
Probate
Eric Edmunds has extensive experience with the probate process, including wills and trusts, and disputes among heirs and beneficiaries. He has handled will contests, trust contests, defended and prosecuted claims against estates, suing and defending executors and trustees, including claims involving undue influence, testamentary competence, and elder abuse. He has litigated trust claims all the way to the California Supreme Court.

Appeals
Eric Edmunds has handled virtually every type of dispute in the state and federal courts of appeal, and has briefed and argued published precedential decisions. He knows the inside workings of the appellate process from his time clerking in the chambers of a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judge.
