Raymond M Contreras in Chula Vista's Third Avenue Village has maintained a litigation and family law practice since earning his JD from the University of San Diego School of Law, holding California State Bar #91960 with continuous licensure since 1981. Family law matters involving custody evaluations and co-parenting plan development frequently require court-ordered therapeutic assessments, which the practice coordinates through mental health providers such as Stars Therapy Services. The bilingual English-Spanish office handles civil litigation, alternative dispute resolution, business and commercial disputes, and collections actions in San Diego Superior Court's South County Division. Landlord-tenant disputes and commercial lease litigation often involve property management companies such as Tenant Planet - Chula Vista Property Management as parties or key witnesses in unlawful detainer actions. The practice's most intricate proceedings involve multi-party commercial arbitrations under the California Arbitration Act (CCP §1280 et seq) with cross-claims exceeding six figures in disputed damages.
