Hurt? Evicted? Foreclosed on? Fred fights for you.

You are here because something went wrong. A crash on the 405. A letter from a foreclosure trustee you almost threw away. A three-day notice on the door. A parent who died without a will. A client who stopped paying. Fred Yadegar has spent his career on exactly these problems for people in Los Angeles County and Orange County, and he handles them himself.

That last part matters more than it sounds. At many firms the attorney on the sign is not the person who reads your file. Here, the person you talk to on the first call is the person who negotiates with the insurance adjuster, writes the claim to the trustee, files your answer in the eviction case, or drafts your trust. You get one phone number and one name.

Who Fred Yadegar helps

Fred’s practice covers five areas, and they overlap more than you might expect. A foreclosure often comes with an eviction. An eviction after a death raises a probate question. A contract that fell apart may involve real estate. Because Fred works in all of them, you do not get bounced between offices.

• Injury Law: car accidents, Uber and Lyft accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, serious injuries, and the insurance company disputes that follow every one of them. Handled on contingency. If you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
• Surplus Funds Recovery: when a home sells at a trustee’s sale for more than was owed, the extra money belongs to the former owner or the heirs. Fred claims it for you, with no upfront fee.
• Eviction Defense: unlawful detainer cases for tenants and for former owners still living in a foreclosed home. The response deadline is 10 court days, so call the day you are served.
• Wills & Trusts: creating a plan that keeps your family out of probate court, reviewing documents you already have, and enforcing a will or trust when a trustee will not do the right thing.
• Breach of Contract: unpaid invoices, contractor disputes, real estate deals that collapsed, partnership fights, and defending you when someone claims you broke a deal.

How a case starts

Every matter starts the same way: you tell Fred what happened. You can call, text, or send the short form on this page. Within one business day you get a callback and a plain-English answer to three questions. Do you have a case? What is the deadline? What will it cost, if anything?

For injury cases the answer to the last question is simple. There is no upfront cost, and the fee comes out of the recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. Surplus-funds claims work the same way. For eviction defense, estate planning, and contract matters, you get a quote before any work begins.

Why people call Fred

Fred has been licensed in California since 2006, with a J.D. from Loyola Law School and a B.A. from UCLA. His State Bar record is clean. Fellow attorneys describe him as a trial lawyer who is not afraid to go all the way, and clients describe someone who explains things until they understand them. You can read every one of those reviews, with names and sources, on the reviews page.

Fred practices throughout Los Angeles County and Orange County, from the downtown Los Angeles courthouses to Santa Ana and Newport Beach. If you cannot come to him, he meets you by phone or video, or comes to you when an injury makes travel hard.

The insurance company, the trustee, and the landlord all have lawyers. Now you do too.
