The Law Offices of Michael Gaddis, APC is a law firm dedicated to helping distressed homeowners save their homes.  Helping distressed homeowners was a natural progression for Michael Gaddis who is also a California NMLS licensed mortgage broker.  In 2008 Michael Gaddis was busy assisting homeowners to refinance out of 2 and 3 year adjustable loans into 30 year fixed interest rate loans when lenders stopped stated income financing and 100% LTV financing.  Since Michael Gaddis understood the ramifications of the inability for these homeowners to refinance out of interest rates that were adjusting from 6 & 7% "teaser rates" to 8 to 10% adjustable rates Michael Gaddis began to approach the legal departments of the various lenders in an attempt to find a resolution for these homeowners.  Michael Gaddis has been helping homeowners ever since and now has successfully modified well over 1,500 home loans.  What makes Michael Gaddis so unique is his amicable relationships with most lenders.  These lenders respect Michael Gaddis' knowledge and ability to speak to them in their own "language", the language of underwriting and finance.  Michael Gaddis' philosophy is simple, learn the policies, procedures and underwriting guidelines of every lender and then hold them to their own rules.  Michael Gaddis is very proud of his accomplishments and posts many of his loan modifications in his "trophy case" on his website.  Michael Gaddis also negotiates short sales and settlements on delinquent junior liens.

My practice focuses on labor and employment law. I both advise management on federal and state employment law compliance and defend employers against claims brought against them for wrongful discharge, discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and wage and hour disputes.

I have significant experience conducting sexual harassment training, as well as workplace investigations on behalf of employers in connection with allegations of discrimination and harassment.. My clients vary by size and industry. I have successfully represented Fortune 500 Companies, as well as burgeoning start-ups. My clients include public employers, non-profit corporations, and those in private sector industries.. Additionally, effective Fall of 2015, it will be my great privilege to serve as an instructor at the USD Paralegal Program. As a proud alumni of this Program, I take myy role as an educator very seriously given the impact my position has on the professional development of my students. I recognize that I may very well be the first individual to introduce my pupils to the legal industry and its mechanics, which may affect their ultimate decision to pursue a career as either legal assistants or (as in my case), attorneys.

My practice covers a broad range of civil litigation and transactional matters.  I routinely represent corporate, individual, and insurance-based clients on high-exposure complex matters all throughout Southern California in both state and federal courts.  I have substantial experience in contract law, business disputes, real estate law, catastrophic injury claims, construction defects, contractor disputes, environmental law, business formation, and commercial landlord-tenant matters..
