I’ve sent several people to him and they all came away pleased with the results. His basic fee is less than $200. A bargain in the lawyer business. If you have any chance of recovering some cash from your landlord, he’ll let you know. At a minimum, you’ll learn a lot about Californis tenant law and be better prepared for next time.
Good luck.[/quote]
Why is there no case? The law is pretty black and white on this stuff and tends to favor the tenant.
If you can show me I am wrong, I would be glad to expand my knowledge.
I have done this several times and I read a lot on tenant rights.
I am open to the idea that I am wrong but I would like it if you could be specific.
Also, lying about work being done (as alleged by the OP) counts as bad faith. Treble damages really would apply.
If it were me, I would do this in a heartbeat and would not spend more than the cost of small claim filing fee. Also, they have legal advisors there at the small claims office.
