Security Litigation Attorneys in Los Angeles

Because of the inherently dangerous nature of the work, and because security companies occupy a position of special responsibility, they face all the litigation risks associated with run-of-the-mill businesses, but have additional exposure in negligence and breach of contract.

At Bradley & Gmelich, our experienced Los Angeles security litigation attorneys know how to defend your company. We have over a decade of experience representing a wide range of security companies, alarm services, private patrol operators (PPOs), electronic surveillance providers, security system monitoring operations, executive protection specialists, and other private security-related enterprises.

When litigation threatens

If a disgruntled client or angry ex-employee threatens to sue, the last thing you want is to have to explain to your defense lawyer how private security works and how your company fits into that picture. Instead, you want a Los Angeles security litigation attorney like the skilled attorneys at Bradley & Gmelich, who already understands the security industry, laws, regulations, and legal decisions that will govern your case.

We settle most of our Los Angeles security litigation cases out of court—for much less than the original demand of the plaintiff—because we know that many private security business owners prefer the certainty of a small loss to the uncertainty and expense of a trial. But we will not hesitate to make the plaintiff prove his or her case in court if he or she will not accept a reasonable settlement. And with our extensive and successful appeals experience, even a bad outcome at trial can turn into a good outcome for your business and positive case law for the private security industry.

Choosing the right security litigation attorney in Los Angeles

Many factors go into choosing an attorney who meets the needs of your business. On a basic interpersonal level, you want to work with someone with whom you feel comfortable and you trust. You may also want to meet the other legal staff and junior attorneys who will assist on your case. You should feel comfortable and confident around everyone involved.

But most importantly, you want someone with experience litigating cases in your area of business. Nothing quite parallels the frustration of trying to explain an issue that seems self-evident to you, the security industry insider, to an attorney who—while a competent business lawyer—lacks experience in your field and needs even the basics explained.

At Bradley & Gmelich, our Los Angeles security litigation attorneys have legal practices focused on the needs of the private security industry. Partner Barry A. Bradley has even played a role in shaping some of the laws and regulations governing California’s private security industry, and our skilled appeals attorneys have been instrumental in creating some key legal precedents protecting the private security industry from liability.
