Frequently Asked Questions
When should a landlord contact an attorney?
Early advice can prevent expensive mistakes. California landlord-tenant law has detailed notice, service, timing, and local-law requirements. If a tenancy is in default, a lease is being violated, or possession may become contested, it is often best to have the notice and strategy reviewed before taking the next step.
How long does an unlawful detainer take?
The timing depends on the notice involved, whether the tenant responds, the court's calendar, and whether the case is contested. Unlawful detainer cases receive expedited treatment, but a defended case can take longer than an uncontested matter. We can evaluate the likely timeline based on the facts of your case.
Do you represent both landlords and tenants?
Yes. The firm handles landlord-tenant matters for both property owners and tenants, subject to conflicts and the facts of the matter. That includes possession disputes, lease issues, habitability claims, and other significant rental-property disputes.
What other matters does the firm handle?
In addition to landlord-tenant matters, the firm handles selected commercial lease disputes, contract and collection matters, business disputes, civil litigation, post-judgment enforcement, and appeals.
