The partners at Scheer Law Group, LLP combine over fifty years of experience representing nationally known lenders, mortgage brokers, business owners and investors in consumer and commercial litigation and transactional work, with an emphasis on creditor bankruptcy, real estate, and business law.

Firm Background

SLG principals, Spencer Scheer & Joshua Scheer teamed up to form Scheer Law Group, LLP (“SLG”) in 2006.  Spencer and Joshua, along with the partners at SLG, combine a wide variety of business and financial services experience representing nationally known lenders, mortgage brokers, business owners and investors in real estate and business litigation and transactional matters.  SLG focuses on all aspects of creditor and trustee bankruptcy work as well as real estate, financial services, and business law.  The partners at SLG lead a highly trained staff of dedicated professionals, whose goal is to provide superior service and a full range of litigation and transactional services at a fair price.

Spencer Scheer has been in the financial services industry for over 30 years and heads up the Northern California office. Spencer has been rated AV (top lawyer rating) by Martindale-Hubbell and has been selected to the Super Lawyers list by Thomson Reuters. He has experience in real estate, creditor bankruptcy, and general business litigation and transactional matters.  He has developed a reputation as a hardworking and effective litigator, providing personalized results-oriented servicers to his clients throughout California. Mr. Scheer has extensive experience in state and federal courts, having handled over 200 jury and non-jury trials on a wide variety of matters.

Reilly Wilkinson, an SLG partner, has been with SLG for over 15 years and assists Spencer Scheer in running the Northern California office.  He has brought the same dedication and results oriented approach to SLG, handling both civil and bankruptcy litigation matters for SLG clients.

Joshua Scheer moved to Orange County, California in 2015 to open up SLG’s Southern California office.  Mr. Scheer heads up the Southern California office and manages the bankruptcy department of SLG.  He has also been selected by Thomson Reuters to the Super Lawyers list every year since 2013 and brings that same focus and dedication that SLG clients have come to expect over the years. Mr. Scheer handles transactional matters and litigation in state and federal court, with a focus on bankruptcy, including creditor and trustee representation.

Timothy Silverman, a former shareholder at Solomon, Grindle, & Wintringer, joined SLG’s Southern California office in 2016 and brought his financial services expertise to SLG.  Mr. Silverman is now a partner at SLG and manages the SLG civil litigation department.  He has been rated AV (top lawyer rating) by Martindale-Hubbell.

SLG represents its clients in all state and federal courts throughout California. SLG has been very successful in representing its clients in the following areas of law: creditor bankruptcy, civil litigation matters, real estate litigation and transactional matters, contract litigation and transactional matters, privacy compliance, title company litigation, corporate litigation and transactional matters, lender liability defense, including lender and broker fraud litigation, receiverships, commercial collection litigation, landlord/tenant and eviction matters.

OUR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING HIGH VALUE PERSONALIZED SERVICE

SLG is nationally recognized for providing superior knowledge, value, and personalized service to its clients. In 2006, SLG was formed in order to focus on providing quality representation to clients with business interests in California. SLG seeks to provide superior legal services in the most cost-effective manner possible. SLG concentrates on avoiding expenditures of fees for litigation tasks which do not substantially increase the prospect of litigation victory. Towards that end, for certain matters, SLG will utilize flat fee billing arrangements in order to provide its clients with a specified range of services at a fair and predetermined price. This allows for predictability in the pricing of some legal services and ensures that SLG works at maximum legal efficiency.

Since its formation in 2006, SLG has expanded its practice to include additional areas of real estate law, including mortgage fraud, landlord/tenant, and business litigation, by welcoming to its team additional associates and staff with extensive experience in these areas. In 2015, SLG also opened a Southern California office in Orange County, CA, while maintaining its same operation in Northern California. This allows SLG to better meet the ever-changing needs of its clients and helps SLG to respond quickly and efficiently to its clients’ needs.

IN-HOUSE TRAINING

SLG is dedicated to offering its Lender and Small Business Clients in-house training sessions at no cost, to enhance their knowledge and ability to effectively deal with the wide variety of legal issues facing these clients.

When your case volume increases beyond current capabilities or you are experiencing staffing problems, SLG can be your solution. At no cost to you, we will send an experienced team to your office to assist in solving any temporary backlog problems and packaging files for referral.
