I have used SD Evictions several times and they always do a great job and keep you informed throughout the process. The entire team is proffessional and great to work with. They are the best in SD! read more

I had a tenant move in who brought two dogs with them after responding to my For Rent ad specifically stating "No pets." They filled out an application which spelled out no pets. When moving in, I looked them both in the eyes and said "You understand their are no pets allowed" and they both said "Yes." Weeks later, the gardener mentioned that there were 2 dogs in the house. I asked how he knew. "Big poops and small poops in the yard." When I tried to discuss this with the tenant, they demanded I stay away from the house or they would get a high powered lawyer. I have every right to enter the house as long as I give legal notice. The relationship went downhill from there. I found Rachel Callahan here on Yelp. Since I live 100 miles away, everything was done by phone and email. She was INCREDIBLY fast and efficient. She filed all paperwork and QUICKLY got a judgement as the tenants never responded. The judgement gave me possession of my property back and included over $5,000 in rent and costs. Every time her firm sent me a bill, I paid within minutes because I loved what they were doing. AND, it was extremely reasonable for the work she did. I now have fantastic tenants in the house but if there's any trouble, you bet I'll call Rachel. THANKS FOR THE GREAT WORK! read more

The eviction situation we hired SD Evictions to handle for us was a particularly difficult and heartbreaking one. We had to evict a close relative, and the process, because of California law, was excruciatingly slow, 5 agonizing months. There were a lot of decisions we had to make and a lot of threatening and abusive behavior from the person being evicted during the lengthy process But the SD Evictions team helped us get through it to the end. They made an uncomfortable and unpleasant situation "bearable" because of their clear guidance, their empathy, their incredible support, and patience (with our many questions, concerns and frustrations). And their fees were fair and reasonable for what was required. Eviction is not an easy, fun, or fast process for a landlord, and if the resident is "troubled" it's that much more important to make sure to do it properly and legally. If you want help with an eviction, especially with a difficult one, we sincerely recommend SD Evictions. We can't imagine having gotten through the process, that was hard and heartbreaking for us, without their help and their compassion for our situation. read more

Had to start the process for eviction, which is always unfortunate. But sometimes necessary. This company was generous with my questions. Patient with me while they helped me understand the process. And ultimately help me get them out much sooner than later. I will definitely be using this company again. read more

Top tier! These people are professional, knowledgeable, and are the best. We have used them on numerous cases, one of them had to go into trial, and Mr. Owens handled it like no other. Their experience and service is unmatched. The entire firm and staff are also very talented, friendly, and highly responsive which makes for excellent customer service. And a relief especially when you're dealing with difficult times. read more

Incredible service. I had a terrible eviction case, and they handled it no problem, walked me through every step so I felt involved and in the know, and the price was very fair. The people were also very friendly and understanding. Could not recommend them enough, and I will be using them for all future evictions. read more

Rachael and the team were indispensable in getting rid of a problem tenant. Fees were reasonable. The process and next-steps were explained clearly and promptly, and it was a huge relief being able to rely on them to guide us through a very stressful process! read more

Rachael and her team are the best landlord attorneys in San Diego and my go-to for any tenant-related issues. As a landlord in San Diego, I strive to provide quality housing and comply with the ever-changing landlord-tenant laws. Rachael's team is always available to answer questions, draft and serve notices, and pursue legal remedies and equitable solutions. Her advice is always logical and aimed at reducing your stress and expense. She will tell you what you need to hear, rather than what you want to hear, and combined with her extensive experience and expertise, that makes her an amazing attorney. Highly recommended! read more

In short, calling San Diego Evictions was hands down the best decision I made when dealing with a non-paying tenant who refused to leave. This firm exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I reached out, they were fast, professional, and incredibly attentive to my situation. Five stars all the way! Here is the long version. Two months before my tenant's lease was set to end, I sent a 60-day notice. However, this seemed to trigger him. He vandalized the house, causing over $1,200 in damage, physically assaulted me, stopped paying rent, and claimed that he would never leave. At first, I thought I could handle the eviction on my own. It seemed like an easy case. I had clear evidence that I had followed the rules and was the victim. However, I decided to call San Diego Evictions just for a few questions I had when filling the court forms. They offered a free case evaluation, including reviewing my communications with the tenant. There, they helped me realize the mistakes I had made. One email I sent had invalidated some previous notices, and another notice I sent inadvertently converted the lease into a month-to-month agreement. As a result, I had wasted a month trying to move forward with an incorrect process. That's when I knew I needed professionals who specialized in the complexities of eviction law. From then on, it was smooth sailing. San Diego Evictions took care of everything, from issuing rescission notices for my earlier mistakes, all the way until guiding me on what to do during the Sheriff lockout and how to handle the tenant's abandoned items. Throughout the entire three-month eviction process, they cared more about my case than I did myself! Whenever I needed to fill out any forms, they provided clear instructions and then filed everything for me. When the next step in the process was due, I received automatic email reminders so I never missed a beat. They monitored the case in real-time and reached out to me immediately with updates. I still remember when the Writ of Possession was issued, they emailed me first, and two hours later, they called to walk me through what would happen next, even before I had checked my email! Their service charges were all upfront, and there were no hidden fees. Calls and emails were always free, and best of all, they were always available to answer my calls. As a non-native English speaker, I was impressed by how patiently they took the time to make sure I fully understood everything. They also always responded to my emails within hours, which gave me a sense of relief throughout the process. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, the Sheriff lockout took place just a little over three months after I first contacted them. I was really astounded because everyone said it would be a 6-12 month process. Think about how many more stress-free days and the extra rent income that'd give me! San Diego Evictions is simply amazing. I can't recommend them enough! If you're looking for a firm that offers speed, professionalism, and true compassion, look no further! read more

Fast, efficient, professional service. It was great to regain access to our property.

Rachael Callahan and her team helped me through the eviction process. I had awful tenants that felt super entitled to stay at my property rent free! I highly recommend them! read more

They are a joke and pro tenant. I was told that to evict someone from a duplex I would have to evict both tenants ( a lie) also told me that a tenant that won't sign a lease isn't just cause. Stay away from them a sorry Katrina!!!! read more

Best eviction firm in San Diego! Best results, best comunication, best fees for the absolute best service. I highly recommend them!

To start out with this firm will communication and accept your money via quickbooks links immediately. They will tell you they are starting the process and just about 100% through email. The caveat here is that once they get the money they don't care about the results. And Rachel Callahan is got to be the most unpleasant and rude attorney I have every coma across. Once she has your money for starting a case, she doesn't care about the process or completion of your eviction. She doesn't use licensed process servers, she doesn't listen to her clients information when given to help in the process service of paperwork. They just want to keep collecting $220 and going when they feel like even thought you tell them the defendant is not going to be there and its a waste of time. The level of professionalism from this attorney is unheard of. I am also filing a complaint on her license about this. After being questioned about just getting paperwork served, this attorney just drops the case because she knows they did know and can't and won't acknowledge it. See the emails from her and how she speaks to a client.. "Excuse me? You must realize that our server is required to make attempts at specific time to meet due diligence requirements for the law. Never mind though, I will send your substitution of attorney shortly. Best of luck to you sir." "It is not that I can't. It's that I wont. You accused my server of not attempting during the time you said, when he did. You said a monkey could do it. If you would me to put the name of the monkey you intend to hire on the form I'm happy to do so. " "I have no interest in ongoing representation in your case. As required by the retainer agreement, you need to sign the substitution of attorney. If you refuse I will simply file a motion to be relieved as counsel. " This sounds like the attitude of a very unhappy person, and it shows that she is not the type of person that is going to be there to protect your property rights! I would highly suggest you see other reviews about her and I would hire a more reputable attorney that can actually do there job and is willing to do so. See her google reviews too...not even 4 stars...no surprise! read more

Highly recommended. In March 2024, I hired San Diego Evictions to evict my non-paying tenant in Escondido. SD evictions wrote the 3-day notes, served them, and informed the property manager of the deadlines. They always replied to my emails within 24 hours. I also love SD Evictions' upfront pricing. Whenever I needed something from them, they provided a firm quote before starting work. During the eviction, my tenant also complicated the case with a dog bite at the property, and SD eviction provided timely advice regarding the incident. Overall, I am very satisfied with SD Evictions' handling of my case and will use them again. read more

I cannot Thank Rachael Callahan and her whole team ( Katrina, Gary, Rae, Lauren) from San Diego Evictions enough for the exceptional legal representation during the eviction case. The expertise and dedication were evident, they navigated the complexities of the case with skill making sure my rights were protected. They communicated clearly, promptly and always concerned throughout the process. Thanks to their great work I got a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Rachael Callahan and her team at San Diego Evictions to anyone needed an eviction. 5 Stars is not enough to show my appreciation Thank you Rachael read more

This lawfirm is the worst! They took a retainer, did almost nothing and then wanted to charge me for more work that they should have done!

Rachael and her team at San Diego Evictions helped me get an eviction on record and a lock-out during the COVID-19 pandemic. As every property owner and manager knows, this was no small feat. It took time, skills and patience from everyone knowing the wheels of justice grind ever so slowly toward the intended goal: moving out a bad tenant for the sake of the remaining residents. read more

My parents had a landlord/tenant issue with opposing party and opposing party ended up hiring an attorney. I stepped in to try and help my parents as best as I could but soon realized that we needed to be safe, do things right, and hire an attorney to guide us through the messy situation we were in. While I did not end up hiring San Diego Evictions, I wanted to express my gratitude to their team by writing an honest review about my positive experience with their firm. Their team read the documentation that I provided and gave me their opinions as well as options with how to move forward. I initially spoke with Ariel over the phone and she was very pleasant to talk to. I later corresponded with Katrina who provided me with more detailed information specific to our case and even offered to see if their attorney would reach out to opposing party's attorney to see if an agreement could be arranged. The San Diego Evictions team is also very transparent with their prices and everything seemed more than reasonable. All in all, the San Diego Evictions team felt very genuine and I was happy with my experience with this firm. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that has a landlord/tenant dispute. read more

Hands down the best services for your legal issues. We were dealing with squatters in my parents' garage over the past year and recently got him evicted with the help and guidance of Lauren. It's a daunting process to work with a law firm in such a stressful situation, but Lauren was accommodating to my need to understand the overall process and was willing to hop on the phone with me to discuss my questions in depth. She was patient with our questions throughout the process. Her and her Team were such incredible resources when questions came up on how to handle the various situations that were coming up during the process and they were quick to respond via email. They kept track of our case really well and they were very efficient when it came to next steps, making sure we agreed with the approach, and executing on it immediately. They know what they are doing - as our case was not dismissed by the judge, even though the squatter tried to levy the existing moratorium in his favor. Not only did we get the squatter evicted, but with advice from Lauren and Team, we were also approved for a 5 year restraining order against the tenant. Something to also note is the transparency around their fees - they're incredibly upfront and fair on their fees. The service they provide is worth every penny for all of the support you get from them. I called 3 other firms prior to reaching out to San Diego Evictions and they would have cost 2-3x more than San Diego Evictions and those firms also provided little insight/say into the process and they were incredibly rude. Working with San Diego Evictions made me feel like we were all on the same team - if you get into a sticky situation you definitely want them to go to bat for you. read more

See all

Very reasonable pricing and step by step approach. Deep knowledge of daily changed eviction laws and rules. Great backup of office team work that you can rely on. Stick with these office up to the very end and you get your "lovely tenants monsters" out of your property. Thanks SAN DIEGO EVICTIONS. Great Job AAA+++ read more

Incompetence at its finest with San Diego Evictions. They can't evict anyone. They wasted 1 month of my time just now by failing to provide the proper 3 day notice with the SD rental assistance info and I have to start over with a real firm. San Diego Evictions is just paralegals spinning around amongst themselves uncertain on how to get evictions done and uncertain on how to go about doing it. They are the keystone kops of evictions . Just set me back 1 month and $3000 due to your incompetence ! Do not waste your time with them they can't get anything done ***Don't even think about hiring them to do your eviction ! Immediately start looking at other real law firms otherwise in this quick changing post pandemic environment you will be left at the stop light engine off and stalled with San Diego Evictions (they can't eviction anybody even if it's an easy layup ) . San Diego evictions is like the San Diego padres and chargers they don't beat anybody . San Diego evictions they don't evict anybody the notice wrong ! read more

Update- she's still sending me bills and harassing that she's going to send over to collections. But she never did. Pretty sure it's cuz she knows that she's *this* close to me speaking to the bar association. Look at her pictures- you'll see the emails I received from her. read more

I probably reached out to 7 law offices, and SD evictions was the ONLY one to respond within the same day, and give me some support immediately. I was able to deal with a tenant before things turned sour, and couldn't have done so without the guidance of the SD evictions team. read more

This team was exceptional, efficient, and got the job done very quickly with a very difficult tenant - 100 percent recommend!!

Roughly 6 months ago I started the process of evicting squatters from a property in Fallbrook. Prior to connecting with Rachael and her staff at San Diego Evictions I kept hitting walls in the process of proper eviction. Once I hired her and her staff they made it clear on everything I needed to do and what they would do to get these squatters of 2 years evicted from the property, in a legal manner. If you listen to Rachael and her staff and have some patience you will be rewarded with all things taken care of and regaining your property and peace back. When we did the final eviction they Sheriff that handled the removal of all 12 squatters, she said "you hired the right attorney, all of her details and work made this happen" she went on to explain that most of the time paperwork filed in court isn't filed correctly and she made a point to tell me how it was seamless. I cannot thank you enough for bringing resolve and peace back to our neighborhood. Thank you read more

this company is the worst. they take anyones money that can fog a mirror and don't actually do anything. you give them your money they say they will open and case and then fail to serve them. if they actually serve them a 3 day notice, its wrong, incomplete, or a name is misspelled. the reason why people hire an attorney to serve people is because the laws are constantly changing in san diego and time is of the essence. this company did nothing for me, literally didn't do the job. i actually showed up to the mission valley location un-announced to see their operation because they were ghosting me via email and found 2 people working in a blacked out office location without a sign; then they didn't want to let me into the building. claiming "they have people who come there to display their anger, and take it out on the attorneys." first of all, the people who work there are NOT attorneys, the only attorney is the owner and she hires clerks or assistants. secondly if you CAN'T stand behind your name with the lights on, then you should be out of business. after 2.5 months of no action from them i cut my losses and their lies and moved on; after showing up to get the only documents they had which they refused to give me online. if YELP tries to remove this post or deny it happened i'll happily name names and email addresses for you :) read more

Rachael and her office did not act with integrity. She used her law credentials to bully us with emails and fictitious invoices when we decided to hire another attorney better fit for our case. She threatened to sue us for services we never authorized. Shameful for taking advantage of regular people! read more

San Diego Evictions handled my inquiry promptly and professionally. Thank you! Should I be needing an attorney for landlord tenant issues in the future I will be returning. read more

SD Eviction provided an excellent service to remove the troubled tenant. Rachael is awesome at providing solutions. I HIGHLY recommend their service. read more

I was really hoping these folks would be competent in what they do but I was sorely disappointed. The first snafu was when they failed to notice in my intake form that there was a separate structure for the garage. Cost a couple of days and when you're trying to evict someone, every day counts. But the real kicker came when they had the wrong zip code in the eviction notice and didn't realize it until we were preparing to take matters to the unlawful detainer stage. So if I had decided to go to that level, we would've had to start all over again from the beginning with another eviction notice, which they were going to charge me for AGAIN! Despite 5 out of 6 documents I forwarded showing the correct zip code, they said it was on me to make sure that the information is correct. I'm a busy guy and when i pay someone for a service, I expect them to do it right. If you have the time to double and triple check every single word and go through it with a fine tooth comb to correct for their errors, which I'd bet there will be, then go right ahead and pay these people. But if you expect a company to be professional and competent to do what they're paid for, then look elsewhere. read more

Rachael is a lifesaver! I am the trustee for my incapacitated grandmother and hired Rachael to help me evict a cohort of terrible people from my grandmother's property after the main house was sublet to an illegal marijuana dispensary. The initial attorney we had hired for the case was the worst and made everything 100x more difficult, so I was beyond grateful when Rachael stepped in to save the day! read more

I called up because my roommates and I were not getting along, which is sometimes the way things go. I was trying to work things out with them but they decided to contact the landlord and try to evict me. After speaking with Pamela, I further understood my rights and that a situation where you are outnumbered does not mean you are in the wrong. It gave me peace of mind to know that as long as I am abiding by the lease contract they can not evict me. Thanks again Pamela read more

My husband and I recently had to evict a tenant and we turned to San Diego Evictions. Rachael and her staff (Lauren and Isaac) answered every call and email in a timely fashion, and guided us through each step. Hopefully, we will never need to evict another tenant, but if we do, we will look no further than San Diego Evictions. Thank you Rachael and staff! read more

We were required to hire an attorney to deal with an eviction where, after service of notices to vacate, the tenant still did not leave. We hired a paralegal to do our notices to vacate, process serving and court papers. Once we found out we were for sure going to be required to go to court, we felt it best to hire an attorney to represent us there. We hired Rachel, and once our documents we reviewed by her, we found out that while the paralegal service filled out our documents, he did not do them correctly, nor was he certified as a process server, which meant he would be required to be in court to testify that he did in fact serve the documents properly. By this time, the tenant has now been in the property for two full months without payment. Team SD Evicts got the job done and were amazing, professional, timely, and were able to get an agreement between us and tenant, negating the incorrectly filed papers from the paralegal. We would've paid the exact same amount had we went to Rachel first, so there was no savings or cutting corners for using the paralegal. Should we ever need eviction services again, we're going straight here! Thank you SD Evicts! read more

San Diego Evictions is a very good law firm for evictions where another has failed. Rachael and her team kept me informed from day one to the final lockout. The eviction process is one of those things you never want to go through because of the complications and how nerve wracking it can be but Rachael made me feel at ease. I am back in possession of my home thanks to San Diego Evictions, Rachael and her team. read more

Do you need that tenant out? She helped me in a timely fashion Call her She knows what's up Hard worker Fast Professional And specialized read more

Rachael and team executed the eviction of my tenant flawlessly. Her team keeps the process going without delay. She has a large enough team with specialties in various areas to insure all details are addressed correctly the first time. Additionally, email response for my questions was typically 30 minutes or less. At all times I was aware of where we were in the process. Evictions in California is something you really cannot figure out yourself as law significantly favors the tenant. Any mistake that the court can find no matter how irrelevant will cost you time and money as you start over again to fix it. Go professional and save yourself the stress and aggravation of navigating the legal system. read more

This team is AMAZING! I had a nightmare tenant who refused to leave, didn't pay rent and was making my life a living hell! The team at San Diego Evictions made a what was nightmare into something altogether manageable. They took care of everything: drawing up all the paperwork, serving the notices and even dealt with all correspondence with the tenant. Sarema, Rachel, Jeff and Tim were always around, and responded to me immediately. Thank you so much for everything team! read more

I recently decided to expand my business and try my hand at owning a few rental properties. I was looking to build a team of experts to call if and when I'd need them for any possible occasion with this new business venture and Rachel came highly recommend. When I spoke with her on the phone it was clear she knew her business and I was happy and comfortable to move forward with her. Now I'm glad to pay it forward and give her my high recommendation as well. read more
