Patrick J. D’Arcy is an Irvine-based Orange County attorney with expert qualifications on real estate matters. Pat has over 20+ years of title insurance experience, and worked on airports, airspace leaseholds, severance of buildings from the ground, multi-billion mergers, the sale and purchase of estate properties for celebrities and CEOs, as well as $1 billion loan portfolios for Wall Street. Handling these types of deals means drafting and negotiating their terms, and Mr. D’Arcy is an expert in these areas. In addition to transactional work, we handle significant real estate litigation matters, and even have a published opinion to our credit in federal court where we defended Burger King franchisees against a lease, and dismissed all the claims against them.
