Hard work and determination were instilled in Charles Windon from his youth. His father was a talented attorney, and his mother, an immigrant from Sweden, was a successful real estate agent. Part of a proud legal legacy, he achieved his childhood dream of following in his father’s footsteps. Law is more than a profession to Windon, it’s also deeply personal. In the 1950s, his aunt was hit and dragged by a bus, leaving her severely injured and without defense. Back then, she couldn’t find an attorney willing to represent a black plaintiff, particularly against a powerful bus company. Windon says, “There are many inequities and inequalities in the legal system that we’re still trying to combat, especially in criminal defense and personal injury.”. Before joining Adamson Ahdoot, Windon was a Deputy Public Defender at the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office, where he was a steadfast advocate for his clients and their rights. He is a member of the California Bar Association and licensed to practice in all state courts. Windon serves on the board of Death Penalty Focus, a California nonprofit committed to abolishing the death penalty through public education and other efforts. When he's not helping others, you can find this sports fan on the putting green or cheering on the LA Lakers and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Glenn T. Sherman has been involved in transactions throughout the United States, including Arizona, California, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Although he handles all aspects of a commercial real estate practice, Mr. Sherman has extensive experience in construction and development, purchases and sales and leasing. The various construction contracts which he has prepared and/or negotiated in the recent past has varied based upon the size of the project and the scope of the work, including (i) demolition of existing buildings and ground-up construction, both in free-standing properties as well as within an operating shopping center; (ii) remodeling and expansion of existing buildings; (iii) leasehold improvements within existing buildings; (iv) small projects (such as construction and installation of fountains and other common area upgrades and improvements).. The forms of construction contracts include:. The contracts have been primarily based on a fixed fee price structure, but we have also done cost-plus with a guaranteed maximum.  The AIA forms have been substantially revised from the standard form and include an addendum supplementing the AIA forms.  Because contractors are oftentimes more comfortable using the standardized AIA forms, even though they are significantly revised, we have generally opted to use those forms.  However, on smaller projects, those forms can be unwieldy, and a simpler manuscript form has been desired by some of our clients.  These construction projects invariably require due diligence to determine whether there are restrictions that would affect the project, such as those contained in CC&R’s, Leases, etc. (e.g., dark periods for alterations, listing adjacent owners as additional insureds, location of staging areas, where construction vehicles may be parked, where construction materials and equipment may be stored, etc.). In addition to the preparation of the construction contract, we also provide advice with respect to the process for paying contractors, subcontractors and materials suppliers, including coordination with lender construction disbursement protocols, lien waivers and releases, joint checks and the like.  When mechanic’s liens are filed, we deal with getting them released of record, whether by dealing directly with the lien claimant or the general contractor, bonding around such claims, negotiating settlement agreements and mechanic’s liens releases, etc. Our involvement in these projects also includes reviewing vendor contracts, revising terms and conditions that limit vendor liability (for example, the typical limitation of liability to the amount the vendor was paid), dealing with insurance coverages (including appropriate completed operations coverages available for owners and other additional insureds), liquidated damages for late completion, and a myriad of other customary protections on behalf of owners.. Mr. Sherman counsels clients in the purchase and sale of office buildings, shopping centers, industrial properties and apartment buildings. In addition, he handles various residential agreements and sales as well.  As to leasing, Mr. Sherman handles everything from big box retailers to small mom & pop spaces.  He creates standard form leases for use in various projects. By representing both landlords and tenants, he has a realistic understanding of the needs of each side of the transaction and uses that to resolve sticking points during a negotiation in a way that both parties can accept.

Falcon is the managing attorney of the pre-litigation department at Sepulveda Sanchez Law and was previously a litigation attorney at Vistas Law Group, LLP where he litigated various civil litigation matters for years. While the majority of Mr. Falcon’s career has been in civil litigation, Mr. Falcon finds that this extensive experience makes him a complete attorney in either settling pre-litigation personal injury cases or priming his cases in anticipation for litigation.

In addition, Mr. Falcon received the recognition of Dean’s Fellow, was a member of the national honor society of criminal justice: Alpha Phi Sigma and was awarded with the Witkin Award for Federal Income Taxation. Mr. Falcon would capsulate his law school career by clerking for the Honorable Judge Deidre Hill at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, and later, would extern at Western State’s Immigration clinic where Mr. Falcon won his first case, an asylum case that ended with his client obtaining residency in the United States.. After law school, Giovanni has worked directly with families to resolve their estate planning issues. Giovanni has experience in practicing in all three stages of estate planning which are: (1) drafting, (2) administration, and (3) litigation. Giovanni was originally inspired to practice estate planning to assist first-time home buyers and minorities achieve generational wealth. Giovanni wants to disprove the stigma that to help minorities with their legal affairs, one must work in either immigration or criminal defense. However, after working as a tax preparer for over a decade, Giovanni has realized that his skillset can be best utilized by helping families preserve their assets and be able to pass them down for the generation to come. Mr. Falcon truly believes that the only thing that separates ordinary families and ultra-high-net worth families from Beverly Hills is access to information. After careful planning and zealous representation, Giovanni hopes to help his client achieve generational wealth for their families..
