Wrongful Eviction

Your long-term rent-controlled tenancy is a valuable real estate interest. Wrongful eviction cases (in San Francisco, Oakland or Berkeley) are frequently worth over a hundred thousand dollars. The better cases settle for a quarter or even a half million dollars. Our attorneys have been representing wrongfully evicted tenants for over 15 years.

Tenants Rights

We prosecute affirmative lawsuits against bad landlords for: retaliation, habitability, nuisance, discrimination and breach of contract. We also defend unlawful detainer actions on behalf of residential and commercial tenants. We never represent landlords.

Foreclosure Alert

Tenants are NOT subject to automatic eviction just because the building was sold at a Trustee Sale. Unfortunately, some banks and insurance companies blatantly ignore tenants rights. Some even pretend they don't know tenants are living in their buildings. We have been successful suing banks (and sometimes even their lawyers) for such practices.
