Intro

Wiemond is an associate in our Real Estate and Environment section, with an emphasis on real estate litigation, land use disputes, environmental litigation, and trust and estate litigation. Real estate owners, commercial landlords and tenants, developers and managers, and shopping centers often rely on Wiemond's knowledge in litigating unlawful and forcible detainers to regain possession of property, enforcement of leases and contracts, rent disputes, abatement of trespasses and nuisances, resolution of boundary and easement disputes, partition actions, and eminent domain and inverse condemnation matters. His practice is intertwined with land use disputes and environmental litigation matters.

Relying on his vast experience in real estate disputes, Wiemond aptly represents trustees and beneficiaries in disputes over the management and division of land and personal property as a member of the Family Wealth Resolution & Disputes group.  

Wiemond’s experience spans all phases of litigation and dispute resolution across California state and federal courts, including the California Court of Appeal. He is well versed in pleading challenges, discovery disputes, dispositive motions, writs of mandate, and appeals.
