When a complex dispute arose with a commercial tenant over a significant lease violation and property damage at our Irvine retail center, I knew I needed specialized counsel. Ryan W. Smith at Greenberg Traurig was recommended, and his guidance proved invaluable from our very first consultation. His deep, focused expertise in real estate litigation was immediately apparent. Ryan meticulously analyzed our contractual agreements and the evidence, then outlined a clear, strategic path forward that balanced assertive legal action with pragmatic business considerations. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Litigation - Real Estate is well-deserved and was a key factor in our decision to engage him. Throughout the process, Ryan maintained a perfect blend of professionalism and personal attention; he was always accessible, explained complex legal concepts in understandable terms, and managed the litigation with a steady hand. His negotiation with the opposing counsel was masterful, ultimately securing a settlement that not only covered our damages but also included favorable lease modifications. Ryan’s foresight and command of real estate law turned a potentially protracted and costly dispute into a decisive positive outcome. For any business or individual facing real estate legal challenges in Southern California, I cannot recommend Ryan W. Smith more highly.
