Justin C. Lowenthal
Justin Lowenthal is a California real estate attorney and broker whose practice focuses on complex real estate transactions and high-stakes real property disputes. He has practiced in Davis since 2010 and manages both Lowenthal APC and Lowenthal Realty Co., providing clients with integrated legal and transactional counsel informed by real-world deal experience. Justin represents property owners, investors, and brokers in sophisticated purchase and sale transactions, seller nondisclosure and fraud claims, broker disputes, easements and appurtenances, quiet title action and related lis pendens issues, partition-avoidance agreements and partition actions. His practice also includes construction and closely related business disputes that arise from or relate to real property ownership, development, and transfer.
Justin is frequently retained in matters involving substantial assets, contested facts, and elevated risk, where early strategic judgment and disciplined litigation positioning are critical. His transactional background informs his litigation work, allowing him to evaluate deals not only as legal abstractions, but as transactions that must ultimately close, unwind, or be enforced. Likewise, his litigation experience informs his transactional practice, particularly in identifying and managing risk before disputes arise.
Justin has been recognized by peers and clients for his legal ability, professionalism, and ethical standards. Since 2019, he has maintained an AV Preeminent® rating by Martindale-Hubbell®, reflecting the highest level of peer recognition. He has also been named annually to the Northern California Rising Stars list by Super Lawyers, an honor awarded to a small percentage of attorneys in the region. Justin holds a 10.0 Top Attorney rating on Avvo with a five-star client review average and has received over 100 published client reviews across multiple platforms. In recent years, he was ranked among the top attorneys in Yolo County by the Davis Enterprise Reader’s Choice survey. As a licensed real estate broker, Justin is also a five-star agent on Zillow, based on his representation of clients in millions of dollars of residential and commercial real estate transactions.
A lifelong resident of Davis, Justin was born and raised in the community and continues to live and work in Davis with his family. Much of Justin’s practice involves advising clients in Yolo, Solano, and Sacramento Counties across multiple transactions and disputes. Outside the office, Justin trains and coaches Brazilian jiu jitsu, enjoys cooking, real estate, friends, and the outdoors.
