My family and I were dealing with a really stressful housing / landlord situation and Daniel Wayne…read morewas a wealth of knowledge and huge source of support us throughout the whole ordeal. Daniel always took the time to listen and understand our concerns and goals. Keeping those goals front and center, he would then help us understand our options, navigate next steps, and talk through all of our many questions and what-if's. Overall we really felt heard and empowered after talking to Daniel. Everyone we interacted with at Wolford Wayne is professional, responsive, and passionate about helping tenants. If you're dealing with landlord-tenant issues I highly recommend this firm!

I agreed with opposing counsel to use Robert Sheppard as a mediator. He was HORRIBLE! He…read morerepresented himself to be fair and someone who wouldn't take side. In a far away fantasy land that may be how he wants to operate but in real like I regret agreeing to use him. Months later when I was interviewing an attorney, I felt relieved when they agreed Shepard was nothing special and that he talked too much. They said they received calls from him months later to schmooze so the attorney gives him business so they concluded he definitely knew where his bread and butter was coming from. He SUCKS! He was not at all neutral and definitely took side. Wouldn't let me get two words out but allowed other side to say everything they wanted to. He then took the threats coming my way to try and get me to sign the agreement that would make false representations about me. Dave yourself and don't use him. Instead go to JAMS and use a real judge with experience. Someone who knows what they are doing. This guy doesn't !

It saved us an enormous amount and everything went smoothly. When you work with a realtor they make you think that it is such a complex process and you couldn't possibly do it without them. Jaime at Sheppard - Uziel & Hendrickson Law Firm proved that to be fiction! We were able to do everything electronically so we could spend our time packing!

I scheduled a consultation with one of their attorneys to discuss a potential case, but the intake…read moreprocess was cumbersome. It took me most of the morning to assemble all of the information they were requesting, even though it was stated that the questionnaire likely wouldn't be referred to during the consultation. It seemed like an unnecessary exercise, given the informality of the consultation. Add to it that the the intake specialist had a generally unaccommodating and dismissive demeanor, and just gave the general impression that my business was unimportant. It caused me to question whether or not I'd even want to work with them, but I figured I should still take the consultation since I'd come that far. Luckily, the attorney I spoke with was professional, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. He seemed to think we had a viable case, so I followed up again a few months later once we were ready to proceed. When I called back to schedule another appointment, I got the same stern and one-sided communication from the intake specialist again, and it raised the same red flag that I'd felt before. This may be a great firm for all I know, but communication style matters heading into a legal proceeding, and I just have to trust my instinct on this. It's very frustrating to have to start over from scratch after paying $500+ for a consultation and wasting all that time on the intake questionnaire, but I don't feel comfortable proceeding.

I Highly recommended Hooshmand Law Group…read more My experience with Mark Hooshmand and the Hooshmand Law Group was nothing short of outstanding. I was scared, stressed out and my anxiety was through the roof. I didn't know what to expect. The team was really nice, patient, and attentive. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and were always available to answer questions. They explained all documents and discussed all concerns which offered emotional succor to me, and everyone involved. After my first conversation with Mark, I knew he was the right man for the job. Mark managed my case with the utmost professionalism and compassion. He is an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients. He definitely went above and beyond to provide the best outcome in my case. His dedication and commitment resulted in favorable outcome. I am profoundly grateful to him!

Compassionate, Communicative, and Truly Effective - Highly Recommend!…read more 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!

I had a Zoom consult with McLaughlin & Sanchez and was really impressed…read more Andres Sanchez knows San Francisco landlord-tenant law inside and out. SF regulations are layered and highly technical, but he broke everything down clearly and gave very pragmatic advice -- not just what the law says in theory, but what actually makes sense in practice. He was straightforward, thoughtful, and realistic about options and potential outcomes. I especially appreciated that he focused on practical next steps instead of overcomplicating things. It felt strategic and grounded, not alarmist. If you're dealing with a landlord-tenant issue in San Francisco and want clear, practical guidance, this firm is a solid choice.
