Originally a small, rural farming community, Costa Mesa has had an economic boom during the past 60 years, transforming into a retail and light manufacturing hub of activity. The South Coast Plaza, a shopping center in Costa Mesa, brings in almost $1 billion in revenue yearly, and the industrial south western part of the city has a light manufacturing feel with various electronic, pharmaceutical, and plastic firms residing there.

In addition, Costa Mesa is home of many talented Costa Mesa lawyers who can help you with your legal situation. These attorneys are well versed and skilled in areas of law such as commercial real estate, divorce, child custody, bankruptcy, intellectual property, personal injury, immigration, automobile accidents, estate planning, and many more.

A Costa Mesa man recently filed suit against his former roller hockey coach, the coach’s parents, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The lawsuit alleges that between the time the plaintiff was 12 and 18, he was a player on a roller hockey team that was sponsored by the LDS church and coached by the defendant. During this time, the coach allegedly sexually abused the Costa Mesa man and threatened to kill him if he ever told anyone. The Costa Mesa man’s lawsuit also names the LDS church because it should have been aware of the coach’s obvious and unusual affection for children.

A Costa Mesa lawyer may file your case in the Superior Court of Orange County. Because this court is relatively small compared to the neighboring courts in Los Angeles County, local Costa Mesa attorneys practicing in Orange County have great insights into the runnings of this court.
