Contact Elpis Law
Elpis Law represents businesses, investors, entrepreneurs, and individuals in California civil and commercial litigation. The firm handles matters involving business and contract disputes, shareholder and corporate governance disputes, real estate and title litigation, trademark and copyright claims, family law, and cross‑border matters involving the United States and Asia.
We appear in the California Superior Courts and in the United States District Courts for the Central, Northern, and Southern Districts of California, and we work with clients and counsel in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
What Happens After You Contact Us
Please describe the dispute, the parties involved, and any upcoming hearing, response, or limitations deadline. Deadlines matter: a responsive pleading date, an arbitration demand, or a statute of limitations can narrow the options available in a matter, so it helps to identify them early.
Before the firm discusses confidential information with you, it may need to run a conflict check against the opposing parties. That is why the contact form asks, optionally, for the opposing party or counsel. Until the firm confirms in writing that it represents you, no attorney‑client relationship exists, and you should not send privileged or confidential material.
If your matter involves an immediate deadline, calling is faster than the form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I speak with an attorney in Mandarin or Cantonese?

A brief description of the dispute, the parties involved, and any upcoming deadline such as a hearing, a response date, or a limitations period. Please do not send privileged or sensitive information before the firm confirms representation.
Do you represent both plaintiffs and defendants?
Yes. The firm represents businesses and individuals bringing claims and defending against them, in California state courts and in federal court.
