Had an excellent consultation call with attorney Tina of Tobener Ravenscroft…read more This firm specializes in tenant protections, and I reached out to them in the midst of dealing with a nightmare neighbor situation (see my recent reviews of Drysdale Property Management and Alameda Police Department for the whole story). Tina called me at our scheduled time, and I happily did not receive any reminders beforehand; (appointment reminders, especially repeat reminders, are a pet peeve of mine - I made the appointment, and we're on unless I let you know otherwise). So full disclosure, I have a healthy skepticism of attorneys based on past experiences, and kept my expectations low going into this consultation. But I was very pleasantly surprised with how the call went. Tina put me at ease, explained things very clearly, checked in throughout the conversation to see if I had questions, and clearly addressed the questions I did have. The call left me informed about my options, and feeling empowered in a situation that had thus far left me feeling rather powerless. I recommend this firm without hesitation for tenants in the Bay Area who need legal help.

We worked with Jim Lucey at Tobener Ravenscroft to navigate an illegal no-fault eviction and…read moresubsequent buyout. This was our first time dealing with anything like this, and we came into the process unfamiliar with our tenant rights. Jim clearly and patiently educated us on our options and guided us every step of the way. Throughout the entire process, Jim was kind, calm, and extremely knowledgeable. He helped us navigate a stressful situation with confidence and worked thoughtfully to ensure a fair and balanced buyout outcome for all parties. Working with him was honestly the highlight of the entire ordeal, and we were deeply impressed by both his expertise and care for his clients. We would highly recommend Jim and Tobener Ravenscroft to anyone facing a similar situation.

I've dealt with this law firm twice in three years. The same intake specialist questioned me both…read moretimes over the phone, sometimes asking me in the interview what I thought were irrelevant questions while also conveying the impression of an authoritarian who would reject me instantly if I did not answer her questions with the requisite politeness and subservience she demanded since she balked palpably when I questioned her about the appropriateness of some of her questions. Based on her responses to my questions and the clinical way in which she asked her questions, I felt this intake specialist was going to reject my plea for help -- before the law firm had made any final determination. And on both occasions, it turned out that my intuition proved correct. On my second call to this law firm last month, the intake specialist asked in a decisively clinical and less-than-friendly manner, "What makes you call us back a second time after you had already been rejected by our firm the first time? Has anything significantly changed?" This same intake specialist, on both occasions, when it was decided the law firm would not take up my case and would not provide me with legal assistance, emailed me my rejection but gave me no reason whatsoever why my petition or inquiry was rejected. None, on either occasion. On both of my inquiries seeking legal help, I was seeking legal defense as a tenant from chronic noise nuisance by an upstairs neighbor my landlord enabled as a noise-maker and refused to warn. On both occasions, the one question the intake specialist asked me and that I had deemed totally irrelevant was: do I want to move out of my apartment? What had my desire (or no) to continue to live in my apartment have to do with seeking justice for my right to quiet enjoyment or the harassment and nuisance as a tenant I was receiving from my landlord? Without, as I've already stated, the law firm once ever stating its real reason for its decline to help me, it later became clear to me that this law firm, which pretends to represent tenants, only wants to help tenants who are willing to move out of their apartment since the firm is able to make a decent profit thereby and only with this particular strategy in mind. It judges that it cannot make money simply by doing the right thing, defending a tenant's legal right to quiet enjoyment of one's rented abode. This firm isn't interested in justice or rights for the tenant. It is interested only in its means of making a profit.

We hired Robert to represent us in an off-market sale of a house in Santa Rosa. We had lived there…read moreas renters for some time and had already agreed on a price with the owner. We brought Robert on as our lawyer to guide us through the entire sale and escrow process.

The escrow closed this week, and we're extremely happy with the guidance and oversight he provided throughout the process.
