We Believe in Having a Clear Purpose and Plan for SuccessDedicating the time to work with each client to fully understand the result that they want and giving them a legal strategy to get there is not just good business practice.  The foundation for obtaining the best possible outcome in any case requires having a clear purpose and plan to deal with the obstacles ahead.  Our law firm's founder, David V. Luu, is an attorney that represents clients in the California Superior Court, and in the Central District Bankruptcy Court. Mr. Luu has extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of business law, real estate law, personal injury, and bankruptcy law. Clients of the firm can be assured that every case with the Law Offices of David V. Luu is entrusted in the hands of attorneys with reliable litigation experience.  In every case we handle, our attorneys work with clients to have a clear understanding of the case objective.  Of course, achieving those objectives often involve the evaluation of many different options.  Sometimes the option that makes the most sense will be informal settlement negotiations.  Other times the best option could be the filing of a a bankruptcy case in the Central District Bankruptcy Court of California.  And, litigating a personal injury, real estate, or business dispute in one of the Superior Courts here in Southern California is another option.  Of course, each case is unique and we do not make the mistake of assuming that one solution will work in all cases.  Taking the time to work with each client so that they understand their options and laying out a plan to deal with the obstacles ahead truly is more than just good business practice, it is the foundation for success.

Since his admission to the California bar in 2001, David E. Libman, Esq., LL.M. has had the opportunity to practice in a variety of related and complementary practice areas. These days, David’s practice focuses primarily on business, real estate and tax matters. David’s practice often involves civil litigation – an arena in which he has successfully tried and/or settled cases in both California and Colorado. David has been able to consistently achieve successful litigation outcomes that have met or exceeded his client’s expectations. Those lawsuits have included, among other things, multi-million dollar complex business disputes involving breach of contract and related tort claims (e.g., breach of fiduciary duties, negligence, unfair competition, fraud etc.), creditor/debtor disputes and real property disputes involving quiet title and unlawful detainer (a.k.a. eviction) claims. David’s practice also often extends to assisting and advising clients on a variety of other matters that are important to their particular needs, including: (1) transactional matters, such as those related to (a) entity formation, e.g., the creation of a partnership, LLC or corporation, and (b) later governance and compliance issues for those existing entities; and (2) real estate transactions, e.g., the negotiation of leases, purchase agreements or promissory notes. In 2008, David received a master of laws degree (LL.M.) from UCLA in business law with a tax emphasis. As such, David devotes part of his practice to estate planning and tax matters. With estate planning, David works with his clients to develop a comprehensive strategy that works best for them and their particular needs – not just a cookie-cutter “one size fits all” approach. In the tax arena, David represents clients in disputes with various taxing authorities, where his successes have included: (1) an IRS appeal where he helped secure a $0 liability decision from the IRS after it threatened his client with over $1 million in income tax liability; (2) a property tax appeal where he helped secure a $1.5 million reduction in assessed value from the County’s original assessment; and (3) a sales tax audit in which he successfully negotiated a near 50% reduction from the California State Board of Equalization’s initially proposed tax liability. David is also well-versed in advising clients on tax matters involving: (1) the establishment of Internal Revenue Code Section 468B qualified settlement funds; (2) qui tam recoveries under federal and state False Claims Acts; (3) transaction optimization; (4) property tax assessment and related exclusions; (5) 1031 exchanges; and (6) the provision of Circular 230 opinions regarding income characterization. Indeed, even if a client does not approach David for tax advice, David has come to realize that his knowledge of tax issues ends up being a value added component to the other services he provides. Though the Orange County’s Community Service Programs, Inc., David has completed the requisite training as dictated by the California Dispute Resolution Programs Act of 1986 to serve as a mediator, including in unlawful detainer disputes. David expects his role as a mediator will become an increasingly prominent aspect of his practice in the coming years due to the continuing backlog of litigation in California court system. Prior to becoming a lawyer, David worked professionally as a musician for years, first in New York (where he obtained a bachelor’s degree from The Juilliard School), and later in Los Angeles and Orange County. As a musician – specifically, a drummer – David has recorded albums; played as the house drummer on a nationally syndicated television set talk show; toured domestically and internationally; and performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Universal Amphitheatre. David has a particular love for jazz and believes that the listening and creative skills he has honed as musician serve him well in his capacity as an attorney. Indeed, many consider David to be “the lawyer who listens.” David still continues to play music as an application in various venues throughout Orange County, and he also often writes for DRUM! Magazine as a reviewer an interviewer. Finally, David is most proud of his family. He has been married to his beautiful, creative and artistic wife Andrea for 24years – thus demonstrating that David knows how to make fantastic decisions. David and Andrea have two highly intelligent, kind and talented sons, Mathieu and Joel, ages 23 and 20.

With a family legacy rooted deep in medicine and science, including a Nobel Laureate as a grandfather, Saif enrolled at UC Riverside’s Biomedical program with the goal of becoming a doctor.. “I initially wanted to become a doctor to help those in need, but I quickly realized that with my travels, background, and ability to connect with people, I could better serve people in another way. Just as important as ones health, so is their freedom, fairness, and right against injustice.”. After graduating with honors from UC Riverside, Saif earned his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Southern California School of Law, where he received many awards and distinctions, including serving as the president of the Street Law Foundation, where he provided guidance and advice to inner-city school students..
