    i have been a landlord for over 30 years and never had the problem of having to evict a tenant…read moreuntil now. I tried once with an attorney that charged a large upfront fee, delivered teh 3 day notice, however after 40 days still had not served teh unlawful detainer. The tenant then promised to pay back rent and even signed an agreement which she broke. i then started a deep search for the right attorney to handle an eviction in LA county. Then i came upon LA Property Law Group. When an individual attorney decides to start his own law firm - most are more interested in making the most profit from every case. even thought they understand that the landlord is in distress financially. LA Propery Law Group is different and rare, they place servicing the client first. Other attorneys only give a vague idea of what the costs could be, the Law Group gives you a complete breakdown of charges. They also have a very friendly and efficient staff that answers the phone and answers all your questions and gives you updates. Frm my experience their goal is a "Win, Win, Win" for all parties, they negotiate a settlement with the clients attorney that works best for all. They told me from the beginning that through mediation 95% of their cases are solved without going to court. This saves everyone the stress and expenses involved, most other attorneys do not do this. I highly recommend them if youi are in the stessful situation and need to evict a tenant.

The process is not…read morequick or easy because of the eviction laws in California but also in Los Angeles, are tenant biased. It does need extreme attention to detail to be done properly. Throughout my case we had to deal with circumstances regarding changing laws in Los Angeles that needed to be adapted. This slightly delayed to case but in the end it ensured the eviction would go through. The major benefit of going through this law group is that if felt I had a team of lawyers working on my behalf rather than an individual lawyer. If I had a question regarding my case, it was quickly answered within hours or by end of the day, by an available lawyer via phone, email, or secure messaging. The communication was reassuring. To sum up, I would highly recommend hiring California Property Law Group for an eviction. Rafael, Zach, Kenny, and the rest of the team are top notch !

    Burris Law helped me with my Mom's probate and estate. They are informative, extremely helpful,…read moreprompt, and understanding. Going through the probate process took a long time(2 and a half years) partial due to the nature of the courts and partially due to some more uncommon issues that came up. Including an existence of a trust, but being unable to locate a copy including finding the attorney who originally set up the trust and asking if they had any copies. Unfortunately, the trust was set up before computer records were common. Another problem they helped me with was SunRun decided, for reasons we were never able to figure out, to try to shut of service even after I had began the process of transferring everything into my name and was only then waiting on the deed for the house that I wouldn't have until probate was over. Getting a letter saying SunRun was going to deactivate my service for being overdue on payments while in the same letter saying I owed no money and was 0 days past due was confusing and was confusingto every SunRunemployeei spoke to and none could give me answers. Burris Law helped me tremendously with this and without their help I don't know what would have happened in the end. I can't say enough nice things about them. They sent me 2 small care packages during the process and it was really nice to get something positive in the mail during a time when I was getting anxiety every time the mail came. Even after probate has been over for a year they answer any questions I have that come up. Retaining their services was expensive, as it would have been for any probate attorney, and it was worth every cent. When I'm in a better spot I'll be back to set up my own trust with their help.

    If I could give 10 stars, I wouldn't miss a beat in doing so. We hired Burris Law to assist in…read morenavigating a challenging situation where a vulnerable family member had been manipulated into altering inheritance documents during the onset of dementia. Ariana and her team addressed our concerns and helped ease our emotional burden during this difficult time. I can't express enough how approachable the team was and how clearly our options were described to us. Burris Law was exceptional and the team was very responsive to any questions as well as going above and beyond.

    I initially had a positive impression of this firm. My consultation with Mr. Chiao went well. He…read moreclearly explained my legal options, came across as warm and earnest, and made me feel comfortable retaining the firm. Unfortunately, once my case began, serious organizational and communication issues emerged. Although the complaint itself was well written, it was filed with the wrong court and contained an incorrect address. I was never informed of this mistake and had to discover it on my own. Correcting the issue required a change of venue, which cost me significant time and money for an error that was not mine. Communication throughout the case was inconsistent. At times, staff were responsive and reassuring; at other times, follow-up emails went unanswered and seemed to fall through the cracks. When I informed the firm that the opposing party was making threatening communications, my concerns did not appear to be taken seriously. After deciding to retain new counsel, I was surprised by how aggressively this firm interacted with my new attorney during the transition. Even more concerning, when my case files were transferred, I was mistakenly sent documents belonging to a different client. This raised serious concerns about their internal controls and confidentiality practices. I was also charged approximately $600 for work the firm claimed had been completed but which was never included in the file transfer. When I requested a refund, I was told the work had been done and that I would need to absorb the cost, despite having to pay my new attorney to redo it. Overall, this firm's lack of organization and efficiency ended up costing me more time, money, and stress than necessary. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend shopping around for other firms, even if they are located outside the Pasadena area.

    Landlord Advocates is a godsend in this godless city of corrupt bureaucrats and politicians bent on…read morescrewing over landlords in the name of "justice for the downtrodden". I had a tenant who abruptly stopped paying his rent. Apparently he had contacted a tenant advocate service, which is nothing more than legal sharks now being funded by California to defend deadbeats. The tenant, who was probably on drugs, began paranoid rantings and case-building against me. He tried to turn the other tenants against me. I looked at the possibility of evicting him and realized that I was facing an uphill battle with the current LA political climate. It was at this point that I ran across the Landlord Advocates. After vetting them carefully, I made a down payment on their services. They are so confident in their ability that they offer a money-back guarantee. That's hard to ignore these days, with the bait-and-switch mentality of many businesses. One thing led to another and before our plan came to fruition, I was able to navigate a "cash for keys" deal with the deadbeat tenant. True to their word, Landlord Advocates refunded my money. That sort of integrity is in short order these days. God forbid that I need them, but if this situation arises again, I know who I will call!! The Landlord Advocates.

Their communication and professionalism gave me peace of mind during a very stressful situation. Whenever I had a question, they were literally a phone call away. Thanks to their hard work, the squatter was finally removed. I highly recommend them to anyone needing help with a difficult eviction or squatter situation.
