I had a Zoom consult with McLaughlin & Sanchez and was really impressed…read more Andres Sanchez knows San Francisco landlord-tenant law inside and out. SF regulations are layered and highly technical, but he broke everything down clearly and gave very pragmatic advice -- not just what the law says in theory, but what actually makes sense in practice. He was straightforward, thoughtful, and realistic about options and potential outcomes. I especially appreciated that he focused on practical next steps instead of overcomplicating things. It felt strategic and grounded, not alarmist. If you're dealing with a landlord-tenant issue in San Francisco and want clear, practical guidance, this firm is a solid choice.

It is insane that this law firm (specifically McLaughlin) is still in business. They rip off…read morecustomers over and over again, ignore your calls and bill you over nothing every chance they get. And no I wont send you any referrals so stop asking

I suspect, one of their attorney's I hired, colluded with…read morethe opposition attorney, because he tried to have me sign a release of my beneficiary rights. When I confronted him (to let him know it was a general release and I would receive 0) he told me he did not read the settlement agreement!!! He knew what it was, but tried to get me to sign it and lose my rights...yet said he never read the settlement agreement. Never let a probate, or estate attorney make a phone call to the opposition, never. Always demand every communication is done in writing!!!! Probate law is chalk full of scam artists and only about 20 percent can be trusted to act in your best interest! Always , always check the facts using chat GPT and possibly hire a second attorney to review communications with your attorney

Our HOA has been working with Stephen for over a year now and he has been amazing! He was…read morerecommended by a neighbor for his honesty and we have been so grateful for his rational, calm, ethical guidance throughout the process of arbitration with a dishonest HOA member who was trying to take common area from the HOA. He was always on top of it, did research to help us uncover critical emails that detailed her deceit and knew the law regarding our case and used it well. He has a private practice and charges a fair price. Stephen is a pleasure to work with, responsive, attentive, professional, a good listener, able to explain the law to us and critically, he gets results! We had a complete victory and won all our claims, while the deceitful woman lost all 5 of her false counter claims. I would highly recommend Mr. Williams and would gladly give a reference if you want to private message me.

I made the mistake of not choosing Bornstein Law from the start. My sister, who works in the Civil…read moreSection of the Sheriff's Office, spoke highly of Attorney Bornstein and his team's high volume of successful eviction cases. Unfortunately, I let the negative reviews in here influence my decision and hired another attorney instead and it cost us valuable time. What immediately stood out to us was Bornstein Law's transparency. Their terms and fees are clearly listed on their website. That was a big relief after the other attorney was trying to get us to sign with their firm and start an eviction over a small issue (Bornstein Law's fees are more affordable vs the other attorney we talked to). During our consultation, we didn't have to spend a long time explaining every detail of our situation and Attorney Bornstein had already identified the issue and presented several options to resolve our tenant issue. He was direct, practical, and didn't sugarcoat anything. I can see how some people might interpret that as feeling unheard, but in our case, we appreciated his efficiency. He was also considerate enough to recommend options that would cost us less because our matter was not an eviction case. After the call, I realized why some reviews mention communication issues. At the end of our consultation, he accidentally placed us on hold, apparently thinking the call had already ended. Should we be upset about it? Maybe. But compared to finally having a clear path forward for our tenant issue, it felt like a minor mistake. We left the consultation relieved and confident about our next steps.

Turning to Branco Law was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Marc Branco and his team…read moreprovided outstanding representation from start to finish. The trust we placed in them was well deserved. Our case involved a difficult tenant who had damaged our property and refused to pay rent. The situation required a rent board hearing, and Marc's preparation and professionalism were exceptional. He presented our case clearly, anticipated every issue, and demonstrated a deep understanding of landlord-tenant law. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, the rent board ruled in our favor, bringing a long and stressful process to a successful conclusion. If you are a landlord facing a challenging or complex situation, I highly recommend Branco Law. Marc Branco is a dedicated advocate who delivers results.

This property has been in our family since the 90s and has never been in such a state. I reached out to Marc and he immediately went to task to save us from nightmare tenants who we had been left with. He was super responsive, thorough (understatement) and detailed. He knows tenancy/landlord laws backwards and forwards. He really is the best, especially in a system that is positioned to only protect tenants, even when they're completely in the wrong. I would highly recommend Marc Branco.

He was calm, practical, responsive, and gave very grounded advice during a stressful situation.

Talking with Irene is like consulting a friendly encyclopedia, she has an incredible wealth of knowledge at her fingertips. She walked me through every step of the process, always clearly explaining our legal strategy and all available options in a way that gave me confidence that my interests were protected. Irene's paralegal, Bryce, was great, too. He was always very quick to respond and made document management, signatures, and everything in between easy for me.

Months later when I was interviewing an attorney, I felt relieved when they agreed Shepard was nothing special and that he talked too much. They said they received calls from him months later to schmooze so the attorney gives him business so they concluded he definitely knew where his bread and butter was coming from. He SUCKS! He was not at all neutral and definitely took side. Wouldn't let me get two words out but allowed other side to say everything they wanted to. He then took the threats coming my way to try and get me to sign the agreement that would make false representations about me. Dave yourself and don't use him. Instead go to JAMS and use a real judge with experience. Someone who knows what they are doing. This guy doesn't !
