C. William (Bill) Dahlin's practice area is civil litigation with an emphasis on real property and property rights. The practice includes prosecuting actions against municipalities for damages and extraordinary relief through issuance of writs of mandate. Bill has been involved with dozens of cases involving the protection of property rights. Such issues include rent control, mobilehome park closures, mobilehome park subdivisions, park sales and purchases, and related land use decisions. Bill has had significant cases and successes in such diverse locales as Banning, Morgan Hill, Moreno Valley, Carson, Rancho Mirage, Huntington Beach, Contra Costa County, San Marcos, Calimesa, Chino, Yucaipa, Indio, Ventura, Petaluma, Hollister, Oxnard, San Jose and Chula Vista.

  • In Oxnard, Mr. Dahlin was successful in forcing the rent board to authorize recovery for capital improvements and to comply with binding Public Utility Commission rules.
  • In Chino and Calimesa, Bill helped negotiate legislative changes to amend local rent control ordinances to address the need to adjust rents upon a change in tenancy.

Mr. Dahlin also represents clients in employment disputes, such as wrongful termination, landlord-tenant, breach of contract, commercial leasing, UCC and business tort litigation. Bill has assisted employers and employees in debt collection and real property foreclosures.

Employment disputes frequently become very emotional. Mr. Dahlin has helped many wage and hour, and wrongful termination matters to be quickly and decisively completed.

Mr. Dahlin has been with Hart, King & Coldren since 1988.  He and the rest of the Hart, King & Coldren team have been at the forefront of the firm's Mobile Home Park practice area to assist park owners with all of their business needs. Mr. Dahlin is also a licensed real estate broker.
