Compassionate, Communicative, and Truly Effective - Highly Recommend! I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Mark and his team. As a tenant navigating a stressful landlord dispute, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain--until I found this incredible attorney. From the very beginning, and all the way through trial, he was in constant contact, keeping me updated through both email and phone. He didn't just handle the legal side--he genuinely cared about how I was doing throughout the process. His encouragement during the tougher moments, especially when things dragged on, or I got really down made a huge difference and helped me stay grounded and focused. His paralegal was also fantastic--thorough, responsive, and clearly invested in the case. Together, they made me feel supported and empowered every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we won the case--and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for someone who's not only skilled but also compassionate and communicative, I wholeheartedly recommend Mark! read more

Hooshmand Law Group is fantastic! We were faced with a challenging situation with a landlord in San Francisco and the team at Hooshmand Law Group was incredibly helpful and professional. Mark Hooshmand and his colleagues are profoundly knowledgeable and persistent. They meticulously explained each stage of the process and demonstrated unwavering dedication to achieve results, fighting tirelessly for us to secure an equitable resolution. Throughout the process the team was compassionate, responsive, and consistently supportive. If you're dealing with landlord issues, I wholeheartedly recommend contacting them.

That hard part about writing this testimonial is finding just the right words to do our experience with Mark and his team justice. Simply put, there is no one better than Mark out there. No one. Mark's take on his cases is razor sharp, his insight is keen, his know how is inspiring and he has the perfect balance of drive, fight and compassion to make something as daunting and stressful as litigation feel like a cake walk and that is saying a lot. I loathe litigation. I loathe anything legal and official and "businessy". It all stresses me out to no end but with Mark at the helm this was not the case. My family and I knew we were in the most capable of hands and the peace of mind that this brought into our lives was priceless. Mark offers a holistic approach to his work where the focus isn't just on the legal case alone but also on his clients. We felt heard and seen. Mark truly cared not only about what we'd lived through but about us as individuals and our experience through the whole process. The results that Mark achieves are results that I can say with confidence that NO ONE ELSE can achieve. This is coming from experience in dealing with other attorneys that compared to Mark were simply put, inept. In a world that seems to get more cutthroat by the minute, to find someone who knows how to achieve spectacular results while holding on to his humanity in the process is a rarity that bears mentioning. Mark is that rare gem. Our entire family owes Mark and his team a huge debt of gratitude for their diligence with our case and their care and kindness towards us both as a family and as individuals. Mark holds a special place in our hearts and the hardest part about being done with our case is that we miss being in touch with him! There is no one else we would ever recommend. Thank you Mark, for everything. Always. read more

I can just speak wonders about Hooshmand Law Group. They have the best costumer service, they're always at your services when having questions. Miss Alicia it's always willing to help. I would 100% recommend this Law Firm. I was very satisfied with their service. If you're looking for a professional and emphatic lawyer I know for sure you can find it in Hooshmand Law Group. read more

This review is long overdue- deciding to file a lawsuit was a really scary and hard decision for me, so it's taken a while to process the whole thing! But it's been a few months now and I finally feel ready: Mark Hooshmand and his colleagues are truly the kindest, most patient, and understanding folks I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I did not take the decision to pursue a case against my landlord lightly, and it involved a LOT of conflicting emotions on my part. This, obviously, made me one of those clients that needed special handling- someone to listen, to help answer questions and to take a gentle approach with guiding me through the steps. I can say without a doubt that Mark and his team made the whole process so easy and UN-stressful, it was truly amazing. I was an absolute basket case, and they handled me with kindness, empathy, understanding and true care. Mark took the time to answer all my crazy questions, guided me through the process and provided the reassurance and support I so badly needed. He really goes to bat for his clients, and his reputation precedes him- I've heard from a few folks since this mediation that I was UNBELIEVABLY lucky to have gotten Mark on my case. My settlement, while fair, was also really really outstanding- I'm beyond pleased with the outcome. Do yourself a favor and immediately call Mark. You will not regret it one bit. read more

Some of the San Francisco tenant attorneys we consulted seemed to have a business model of shying away from trial in favor of settling many "cookie-cutter" cases for less than their actual value. Mark takes a different approach. The opposition knows he is ready to go to trial, which gives him an advantage when negotiating. Mark also correctly gauged the strength of our case and its value despite not fitting the cookie-cutter mold the other tenant attorneys prefer. Suffice it to say, he obtained a good outcome on the case. Mark also has very good "bedside manner" and saw the human side of our situation, perhaps because he once had his own negative landlord experience. This was very helpful, especially since we were reluctant at first to get involved in a legal case. If you are in need of representation from a San Francisco tenant attorney, I highly recommend him. read more

As a fellow housing attorney (I specialize in foreclosure and mortgage servicing litigation), I met Mark many years ago in Court. My first impression was that he was very knowledgeable and one of the best at what he does. This impression has not changed over the past decade or so that I've know him. Throughout the years, I've referred many people to him because I know they will be treated right once they got there. Always good to know that others are doing battle in the trenches to help achieve justice for those that are wronged in one of the most fundamental parts of their lives - their home. read more

I am so thankful to have found Mark and his team. They are incredibly professional and willing to fight for their clients. Not all lawyers are willing to go to court like they are. I chose the Hooshmand Law Group because I know they could handle a large case, communicated promptly and professionally, and were genuinely friendly and caring. I always received prompt updates and answers to my questions, which was a huge relief during a stressful ordeal. It felt great to know I had a team I could depend on. Thank you! read more

Mark Hooshmand and his team were better than we could have ever hoped for! They were always available to answer our questions and offer help and support. Mark is warm, caring, approachable and empathetic. He was calm, confident and ready to fight for us in court. We accepted a large and fair settlement, and couldn't have asked for a better experience! We are truly thankful to Mark and Jacob and the entire team for their tireless efforts and professionalism! They are THE BEST!! read more

Mark and the whole team at Hooshmand Law Group are incredible! I would fully recommend their support for anyone going through housing and landlord issues. This was my first experience working with a lawyer (for anything) and Mark and team were incredibly responsive and supportive throughout. They broke down the legal process and made it much less intimidating and confusing for us as tenants without any legal background. And they were there throughout the whole process to answer our questions and support us along the way. My housemates and I worked with Mark over landlord issues that we were convinced would need to go to a trial. But thankfully with Mark's leadership we were able to settle with our landlord. Mark was focused on our best interest and skillfully facilitated a settlement that avoided going to trial while still meeting our goals. I had no idea what to expect going into this process and am thankful to have had their support. Fully recommend to anyone dealing with housing and tenant rights issues! read more

awesome!!! Needed help with restraining order. He could not do the hearing himself due to other hearings. However, he gave ma bunco of good referrals to other attorney and wanted to really help me. Thanks!!! read more

Hooshmand Law Group is the finest tenant law firm you will find. They only represent tenants where many other firms represent both landlords and tenants. We had a very unique tenant/landlord situation and from the first time we spoke with Mark, it felt as though a massive weight was finally lifted off our shoulders. And throughout the process, he consistently told us not to stress as things would work out. He was 1000% correct. The end settlement was, without a doubt, significantly higher than any other attorney could attain. And leading up to the completion of the case, Mark was incredibly responsive to our questions, always getting back to us more quickly than we ever expected. His expertise, humility and honesty is unrivaled. He truly cares about his clients and unlike so many larger firms, he is not afraid to do what's necessary to achieve maximum justice. His level of success in fighting for tenant rights speaks for itself. I cannot endorse Mark and his legal team enough. He is the best of the best. read more

We highly recommend Mark Hooshmand for any tenant-related issues. The Hooshmand Law Group was the absolute best representation we could have asked for after a wrongful eviction in San Francisco. Mark worked with us for years to get justice against our previous landlord who illegally evicted us for financial gain. If you believe strongly in your case and have the evidence to back it up, he will get you the value your case deserves. He is incredibly detail-oriented and leaves no stone unturned. Additionally, he is an empathetic and supportive person and we enjoyed working with him immensely. He listened to all of our concerns and legitimately cared about us. He and his team have excellent communication skills and kept us up-to-date on everything. Lastly, he's aggressive against the defense, stands up for tenant rights, and was able to win a record-breaking settlement for us. read more

Mr Hooshmand will restore your faith in the judicial system and the concept of Justice for All. An esquire, in the true sense of the word, who will fight hard to get you what you deserve, with a great deal of passion and integrity. As tenant's rights attorney and a true fighter for the underdog, Mr Hooshmand thrives on taking on the "Big Boys" to show them what's what. If you are looking for a legal advocate with intelligence, vision and bravery, for any tenant/landlord issues, look no further than The Hooshmand Law Group. You will not find a better partner in your fight for accountability and fairness. read more

Mark and his team are the most helpful and professional group my partner and I have ever worked with. Mark is an expert that made us feel comfortable and safe during our whole lawsuit experience. Mark and his team were thorough in answering our questions, concerns and all processes. They truly are a positive and hard working group that I was thankful to work with despite the circumstances. I could not recommend Hooshmand Law Group more if you are a tenant and need someone to fight for you on your behalf. Mark did that for me and my partner and we are forever grateful. read more

The Hooshmand Law Group has a vast knowledge of tenant law as well as good bedside manner. They were incredibly responsive and supportive in our case involving a landlord that knew how to game the system. It was a long, complex case and the Hooshmand Law Group knew how to sustain the tenants while showing poise, finesse and knowledge in the court room. read more

Laura, Mark, and the staff at Hooshmand Law Group are exceptional. I have only positive words and would recommend this firm to anyone suffering from a terrible landlord. After a harrowing experience with a landlord, in which my roommates and I had exhausted every possible form of kind, respectful, open, direct communication with our landlord to resolve numerous issues (e.g. harassment, disrepair, etc.) to no avail, we finally succumbed to the decision to file a lawsuit. To be frank, filing a lawsuit sucks. It totally blows. No one wants to sue their landlord. Honestly,The Hooshmand Group made the process unbelievably easy. The first time I called the law firm seeking guidance, I was transferred directly to Mark, who spent 25 minutes listening to my experience and offering practical insight. Mark brought clarity, ease, and hope during a time that felt like anxiety torture. The process Mark told us we could expect was dead on. The diligence of the team at Hooshmand Group minimized the work on our part. As someone with a debilitating chronic illness, I felt immensely supported in working with Hooshmand Law. We were able to settle, something none of us co-plantiffs expected, and were very pleased with the settlement. Particularly impressive was Mark's composure throughout the process. Lawyers have a reputation of screaming at each other and ambulance chasing. This was anything but our experience. While pursuing justice and dignity for us after a very harmful experience, Mark remained kind and respectful to our former landlord throughout the entire process. 10/10. Tenants suffering from awful landlords, you deserve so so so so soooo more. Call Hooshmand Law. read more

After contacting a few lawyers, Mark Hooshmand was the first lawyer on the phone who was empathetic and listened to my frustration on the phone as I broke down crying due to my living situation. In addition to feeling comfortable with him on the phone, the rest of his team at Hooshmand Law Group were professional, answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner, and always kept me up to date with the movement of my case. I was so grateful to have Mark and his team represent me. I would highly recommend this Law Group in a heartbeat! Thank you Mark and team. read more

I only have good things to say about Hooshmand law group and their team. I worked with Mark after having some issues as a tenant and right from the beginning I felt heard and supported. Mark is prompt on emails, decisive and well equipped with knowledge. When I wasn't emailing directly with Mark all other associates were professional and clear about the processes that we were going through. This whole process was surprisingly painless and I would highly recommend reaching out to Hooshmand law if you want a firm that will advocate for you and make sure that you are well represented. read more

Mark was amazingly helpful about my potential eviction and lease issues. He clearly knows his stuff, and had many great recommendations to get me through my housing situation.

Thanks Mark! read more

Mark and his team are extremely easy to work with and highly knowledgeable. I recommend he and his firm without reservation.

His advice was spot on and remarkably helpful. Thank you very much Mark!! read more

Mark was very thorough and helpful with my case and replied to my request within minutes. He even gave me a courtesy follow-up. He made me feel much better about my legal situation and I will definitely use him again and recommend anyone to him! read more

This was my first time going into any kind of legal action for living in an illegal dangerous unit. Hooshmand Law group helped me every step of the way.

We felt like they really cared AND had the skill to match. read more

Legal issues aren't fun for anyone and mine was no exception. I was experiencing several problems with a difficult slumlord that refused to address the issues and repairs needed in his in-law apartment that I was renting. The frustrating part was he refused to listen to me, I even mentioned I had rights as a renter, which he still refused to listen to me. My whole downstairs unit basically needed renovations. Anytime he mentioned he would accept my request to make repairs; he was only going to make small changes. Fed up, I contacted Mark at Hooshmand Law Group for legal help. Initially, after the first meeting and telling my story, Mark had a plan for me and I was lost no more. I actually felt like I was finally in the company of someone who really cared and empathized with my situation. Mark and Eric have been there for me since the beginning and in no time did they confirm that my in-law apartment was not up to code in the state of CA. Mark and his team went straight to work with inspections of the apartment and with filing my case in court - they wasted no time. The stress was immense, but it helped that Mark and Eric were there for me and that they made me feel safe. Mark and Eric are both exceptional lawyers - professional, willing to go the extra mile, hardworking and very knowledgeable about the law. You can tell that they really have a passion for what they do to help people. Anytime I made a frantic message, they were always on my corner. If you are looking for the best and want the best outcome, your first investment should be made with Hooshmand Law Group. Mark went above and beyond to fully understand my situation and the outcomes I desired. I encourage anyone going through the same/or similar situation (retaliatory eviction, illegal units, and habitability and repairs issues) to call this firm. I can't thank enough to this wonderful firm. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I owe it all to Mark, Eric and to the wonderful staff who assisted me along the way. Thank you. read more

Wow, where do I begin? If I'm remembering correctly, I started working with Mark in 2005, if that's not correct than definitely 2006 because I just looked at some old case documents. Off the top of my head, I want to say Mark has helped me with 4-5 legal matters, with the largest one being a Real Estate case. This case was very personal and emotional for my wife and I since this case involved family. One of the toughest things to do in life is to have a law suit against family. Together with Mark helping us we tried at all costs to avoid going to court, but the other side didn't give us a choice. 2 years later, and yes 2 years of an emotional roller coaster ride, the case ended in victory as the court awarded us the judgement. Mark is solid, focused, and knows his stuff. He takes his practice to a completely different level. We can't thank him enough. Bottom line, the best way to describe Mark is if Superman was real, Mark would be him and his team would be the Super Friends / Justice League. He stood up for us and saved our life. If you ever need his help, he'll save yours too. read more

Mark was quite helpful and knowledgeable on tenant housing law. Recommend for anyone needing assistance.

If I could, I would rate Hooshmand Law Group 10 stars. Yes, they are that good. Ian and Mark were incredibly understanding, knowledgeable, persistent and supportive throughout a stressful situation involving a lawsuit filed against a former (terrible) landlord. Even despite the struggle of having to get ahold of me at times (terrible reception on campus, busy work and class schedule on top of doctor's appointments, etc.) they were very flexible with my means of communication which, sometimes, had to be in the form of text messages. :) Slightly informal I know, but again, they were kind enough to do so and accommodate me as much as possible. If I ever had any questions, they answered them honestly, quickly and were refreshingly straightforward. I'm well aware of the fact that they went above and beyond in order to help me with my case which ended with a very (very, very) nice settlement and a newfound peace of mind. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and I absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking legal representation dealing with tenants right. In conclusion, I'm very happy that I had the Hooshmand Law Group on my side and I'm relieved to know that there are still honest, good, and hardworking people out there. read more

A few years ago I was in a dispute with a landlord. Mark Hooshmand made sure that my rights as a tenant were protected. He was very responsive and effective in handling the situation. He never hesitated to respond to letters, emails and actions from the landlord. He fought diligently on my behalf. I don't want to discuss any details of the case but he was there for me through some dire times. If it wasn't for his constant grace, kindness, and great skill as an attorney, i would have suffered through some very bleak circumstances. He is my superhero. Thank you Mark for everything you have done for me! read more
