Robert J. Melun, J.D.

With over 27 years of experience in real estate law, I have developed a comprehensive expertise that encompasses a wide range of areas, including:

  • Leasing

  • Acquisition and Disposition of Assets

  • Landlord/Tenant Matters

  • Commercial Development

  • Financing

  • Equity and Debt Structure

  • Residential Purchases, Title Review, CC&Rs, and Exceptions to Title Insurance

I provide strategic advice to clients regarding development projects, guiding them through entitlements, financing options, and equity and debt structuring. I am passionate about assisting home buyers and sellers with their important transactions and ensuring a smooth process.

Throughout my career, I have successfully negotiated on behalf of developers, landlords, and tenants in connection with acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing across various sectors, including retail, office, industrial, and mixed-use developments. I am committed to advocating for my clients in all aspects of real estate transactions, including entitlements, permitting, construction, and workouts.

My experience spans working within mid-sized, top-rated law firms as well as in-house for a development company specializing in industrial warehouses, auto dealerships, and multi-family housing projects.

My Approach

Specializing in real estate law and providing guidance from contract to close, giving you piece of mind and helping you protect your assets

My approach is purposeful and deliberate at every step. Having reached this point in my legal career, I now have the privilege of practicing law according to my own standards of excellence and efficiency.

While offering the depth of expertise typically associated with large firms, I operate without their substantial overhead costs—a benefit passed directly to you.

As your dedicated legal counsel, I provide personalized attention that ensures prompt responses to all communications, a collaborative problem-solving methodology, and cost-effective representation across all matters.

I take equal pride in guiding first-time homebuyers through their milestone purchase and in partnering with developers to strategize and implement complex commercial projects from conception through completion, addressing both legal requirements and practical considerations.
