Counsel of record on published California appellate decisions including Manderville v. PCG&S Investments (2007) 146 Cal.App.4th 1486 and Red Mountain LLC v. Fallbrook Public Utility District (2006) 143 Cal.App.4th 333, McKinley LLP is the Hillcrest eminent-domain and real-property litigation firm operating from Suite 400 at 3033 Fifth Avenue in 92103. Pre-litigation valuation of contested parcels, Fifth Amendment just-compensation analysis, and severance-damage modeling for partial takings often run alongside the broker due-diligence reports Insight Property Consulting assembles for landowners receiving offers from condemning agencies. The firm's published case list also includes College Area Renters & Landlords Assn. v. City of San Diego (1996) 43 Cal.App.4th 677, which struck down a single-family ordinance restricting student occupancy as an equal-protection violation. Real-property purchase disputes involving Section 1031 like-kind exchange timing, basis-step-up planning, and depreciation recapture require the kind of CPA-side analysis Sahmel & Associates performs when a developer-client closes a contested sale under court supervision. Quiet-title actions, prescriptive-easement claims, adverse-possession disputes, CC&R enforcement, construction-defect litigation, and real-estate broker liability under California Civil Code §2079 round out the litigation docket. Inverse-condemnation claims against public utility districts and municipalities—where a property owner sues the government for de facto taking through flooding, sewer surcharge, or zoning restriction—are the firm's most jurisdictionally complex casework, the same lane as the Red Mountain decision the firm took to the appellate court.
