Forester
& Associates specializes in alcohol and beverage control issues, tax matters,
and business litigation. We know and understand the difficulties of operating
a liquor license. Our firm represented liquor store distributors in San Francisco
and Los Angeles which had been restricted in the sale of alcohol. Through an
aggressive defense, requesting proper evidence and relying on evidentiary matters,
we successfully negotiated lifting these restrictions. Forester & Associates
has also successfully defended liquor store owners who were accused of selling
alcohol to minors. Our firm drafted an appellate brief on behalf of a nightclub
in San Jose whose license had been revoked due to the violation of city ordinances.
Forester & Associates argued whether certain violations had occurred and
helped to mitigate the consequences of the ordinances that were violated. In
addition, Forester & Associates has helped bar owners to comply with A.B.C.
License Type 47 requirements of 50/50 split between alcohol and liquor sales.
