Robert B. Mobasseri
Principal Attorney, ROMO Law Group. Real estate and civil litigation in Encino, California.
Robert B. Mobasseri has practiced law in California since 1997. He handles real estate and civil litigation — purchase and sale disputes, seller nondisclosure and fraud, boundary and easement disputes, partition and quiet title actions, construction defect claims, zoning and land use, and contract disputes — representing property owners, buyers, sellers, investors and homeowners associations throughout Southern California.
He is also a licensed California real estate broker — DRE License No. 01992146, issued in 2017. For the past 29 years he has been an active real estate investor in his own right and has represented investor clients in acquisitions, dispositions and the disputes that follow them. That combination is unusual, and it is the reason clients with income property tend to find their way to him: he has sat on both sides of the table, and he reads a rent roll, an assignment of rents and a purchase agreement the way a principal does rather than only the way a litigator does.
ROMO Law Group is a boutique firm by design. There are no layers of associates between a client and the attorney handling the matter. Consultations are free.
Practice

- Zoning and land use disputes
- Contract disputes

Experience
Mr. Mobasseri has tried and argued cases at both the trial and appellate levels, with several published appellate opinions to his credit. He is admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the Northern, Southern and Central Districts of California and before the California Supreme Court.
He began his professional life as a law clerk at the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office and has served as a judge pro tempore at the Los Angeles Superior Court for the last two decades. He has practiced for nearly three decades and works directly with every client the firm takes on.

Writing

Recent pieces include why California has no 90-day cure period after a notice of default, what the choice between judicial and non-judicial foreclosure actually decides, and the disclosure duties that stop at four dwelling units.
