Mark Alpert has been a member of Hart, King &
Coldren's litigation department since 2001. Mr. Alpert's practice
has an emphasis on property rights. He has represented real estate
developers, business owners and commercial landlords in real estate
and business disputes. Mr. Alpert is a seasoned litigator who
represents his clients before administrative bodies, state and
federal courts. He has a broad background in complex business
litigation ranging from representing small family businesses to
large corporations. Mr. Alpert has obtained substantial rent
increases for property owners subject to rent control throughout
California, including:
- A rent increase of over 50 percent for a
mobilehome park in Sonoma County , California

mobilehome park in Carson, California, which was the largest
rent increase ever granted by that City's Rent Board
Mr. Alpert has litigated many property rights
cases before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, several of which
have led to the recognition of new theories of recovery that will
make it possible for more property owners to successfully challenge
takings caused by rent control or other forms of governmental
regulation.

was a partner with Kendig & Alpert in Newport Beach.
