Turning to Branco Law was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Marc Branco and his team provided outstanding representation from start to finish. The trust we placed in them was well deserved. Our case involved a difficult tenant who had damaged our property and refused to pay rent. The situation required a rent board hearing, and Marc's preparation and professionalism were exceptional. He presented our case clearly, anticipated every issue, and demonstrated a deep understanding of landlord-tenant law. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, the rent board ruled in our favor, bringing a long and stressful process to a successful conclusion. If you are a landlord facing a challenging or complex situation, I highly recommend Branco Law. Marc Branco is a dedicated advocate who delivers results. read more

What can I say about working with Marc Branco? Our family was in a dire predicament with a rental property that had been mismanaged by a former PM. This property has been in our family since the 90s and has never been in such a state. I reached out to Marc and he immediately went to task to save us from nightmare tenants who we had been left with. He was super responsive, thorough (understatement) and detailed. He knows tenancy/landlord laws backwards and forwards. He really is the best, especially in a system that is positioned to only protect tenants, even when they're completely in the wrong. I would highly recommend Marc Branco. read more

Whoa...I never leave reviews right away, but I just hung up the phone with Marc and wanted to write one already as I was speaking with him (but I was furiously taking notes, documenting his suggestions). I've also never reached out to a lawyer of any sort and, reluctantly, admit I had pretty strong preconceived notions of what that would ever be like. (I thought I might get a response, but that any remotely helpful advice would be locked behind a $100/hour phone call.) Marc was anything but what I expected, and I'm super grateful to him. There's a nasty situation going on in my building right now, involving construction which opens my whole little unit to the elements and basically renders it uninhabitable - on top of all the fires going on right now. Marc provided very helpful information about what I can/should do at absolutely no cost, not to mention he reached out to me within minutes of my message; I was floored. In just a brief phone call, I feel infinitely more informed and well-equipped to deal with this. If I need more help, Marc is definitely the person I'll be reaching back out to. Super impressive! You have a loyal potential customer. read more

I was very pleased and satisfied with his services and highly recommend his services. read more

We'd hire Mr Branco any day, and we highly recommend him if you're looking for a real estate lawyer! read more

I never thought I would be in the position to seek assistance in understanding and fighting for my family and my tenant rights. Marc has been an invaluable resource of information and guidance regarding our property management situation. He can supply the experience and thoughtfulness to provide peace of mind through these emotional situations. He reassured us that first and foremost to put family first. There's a lot to think through and he has always been responsive to our questions and urged me to call him any time. He has always been very realistic, honest and listens to all our concerns. He also has a network of resources who can provide great advice. We couldn't be more pleased with Marc and his team. read more

hello landlords or possible landlords in san francisco ca.my opinion is government is in collusion with big money.using your rental as both the battle ground and payout.with tenant as pawn.. as investors in collusion with government have or plan to confiscate your property without compensation thru rental board regulations.. where they make it impossible for average citizens to afford to reclaim property with tenants.. so a landlord will have to do government job of providing affordable housing to people who do not need it......ie government is pimped to write regulations to empty pockets of small landlords thru prop 19, rental board regulations,free lawyer for deadbeat tenants, knowing that big money will buy landlords .distressed rental..who in needing to put some money in pockets after various costly issues created by collusion ..distressed assets bought at discount..how is collusion profitable? government profits by tax and sale revenue and not supplying housing,pitting landlords against tenants. instead. the prostitution of our government is so pervasive as politicians fail to fix simple issues thru eminent domain to build housing and reducing to eliminating big business profit incentives from buying hundreds of homes in San francisco ca... that could be done easily thru huge local taxxes application to non resident owners/ corporation ownership .. that is a tax that is centuries overdue..the political class won't even suggest it because they get elected by pandering to tenants grievances they never solve. while profit from being pimped....at a minimum to remedy confiscation of rental without compensation..ie use your property as affordable housing..government needs to make landlords whole thru compensation to market rate rent.. ie rent control is $500.00 a month..market rate $2000.00 tenant pays $500.00 government pays $1500.00 to landlords. so...what do you do? you need a lawyer who has been there,done that..as legal representation could be all that prevents you from catastrophic cost of tax payer subsidized FREE legal representation for tenants. the lawyer i paid to get what I needed done is marc@marcbrancolaw.com read more

I called Marc Branco after I had an abusive relative try to evict me from the home I lived in for 17 years, which was left to me in the will from my dad. She was misappropriating funds and much worse. Marc was professional, cool, calm and collected. he was very assertive, and at the same time, kind (to me) and tough (although professional to the nth degree) with the relative who was misusing the money from the Trust for her own purposes. He was not only able to save our home from this relative, but she had tried to triple the rent on me. He was able to get it down to a reasonable number and also demanded that she send me the bank statements for 3 years at the end of every month, so we could have proof of her misusing the money. For 20 months now, I have faithfully paid the rent every month on time, and she has been forced to send us the bank accounts, so that we can now have ammunition in any future civil suit, would it come to that. He is the best attorney I have every worked with. I am an expert psychological witness, by the way, so I am very familiar with the courts. Thanks to him, my home is saved from this very vicious and narcissistic relative, and I can now use the bank statements in a civil suit to stop her from doing further damage. This was a very complex case, but he did an amazing job. He is the best pro tenant attorney ever. I recommend him without any reservations, and I owe my home to him. Thank you Marc! Thank you Branco and Partners!! You are wonderful! read more

I've lived in San Francisco for 8 years now and never once did I ever imagine I'd be faced with a wrongful eviction issue from a greedy master tenant; and it is as insufferable as it sounds. I was improperly served a 3-day notice to quit and when you are dealing with an irrational master tenant and an incompetent attorney who represents them, it is a thousand times more frustrating and stressful then it needed to be. Luckily, the only way I maintained my sanity through it all was with the help of Lauren Jones. Similar to the average person, I have no knowledge of how tenancy law works and I wanted the entire thing to be over with before it even began. Despite opposing counsel's frustratingly obnoxious behavior and ability to demonstrate his obliviousness to tenancy law (or even the law in general), Lauren handled everything with professionalism and demonstrated her well-versed knowledge of tenancy law. She provided great advice from beginning to end and it brought me exactly to the place I wanted to be. Lauren was also sensitive to the fact that tenancy issues can be stressful. Although very busy, either Lauren or Tiffany Hufford would manage to schedule time to speak with me to ensure I was fully aware of what was going on and they were available to answer any questions I had. They were both extremely helpful and provided great advice along the way. In retrospect, I could've saved myself some stress because both kept reassuring me that that was what they were there for. I am so grateful and extremely satisfied by the way Lauren handled my case. The outcome of it all was better than I expected and I want Lauren and the rest of her team to be able to help as many people as possible that may find themselves in my similar, unfortunate situation. read more

My experience has mostly been with Tiffany H., smart talented lawyer who works with me if any questions and concerns I have had in a few cases she has handled for me. She came up with a strategy my last firm never knew about. If you want someone quick on their feet & kind hearted and really only has your best interest at heart hire them!! I met Marc & Lauren once and I have never met such kind hearted caring attorneys. They don't have an interest in charging you tons of billable hours RATHER they strategize to keep attorneys fees low and get the result you want. There's no way I can work with anyone else in SF I only wish they practiced other types of law because I would hire them for everything. Thank you guys so so much for actually caring about people and doing the right thing. You are truly the best Tiffany ! Marc & Lauren as well! read more

Highly recommend!! Mr. Branco helped my partner and I with a case involving an illegal rent hike. Marc led us through the process calmly, providing education and reassurance through every step. It was clear his goal was not only to help us win this specific case but to empower us to be better advocates for ourselves and others. He was clearly knowledgeable and experienced. When the day came in front of the rent board, Marc was professional, assertive, focused, and determined. He knew the case backwards and forwards! He helped us prepare beforehand and we went into the hearing feeling confident and calm. Of course we won! Marc has a big heart that drives his work. I highly recommend his law practice! He's easy to communicate with and answers questions promptly. Great guy to work with! He knows his stuff and is clearly experienced. Highly recommend!! read more

Marc Branco assisted me with a San Francisco landlord that was trying to ignore some of my rights. The landlord was also satisfied with Marc's knowledge of the SF rental codes enough that he allowed him to act as a mediator. The results were more than positive and both sides walked away happy. Marc is excellent at what he does and I'd gladly give him more than five stars. His rates are low and he's great with followup. You should definitely give him a call. read more

Mr Branco, Lauren, and the rest of his firm helped myself and the tenants from my building navigate the legal system after some issues at our building. If I had to do it all over again, I would hire him without hesitation. Thank you so much for the past 2 years!! read more

Totally reformed my opinion of Lawyers as people and I'm so grateful that Marc has my back. Thorough, sensitive, loyal, honest, fast, perceptive, and wicked smart. Having someone help protect your Rights, is holistic to your self care. We all need to be protecting one another and this guy has made it his life. I've had several potential points of conflict in my life as a renter, and each time he has brought sharp clarity and and peace of mind faster than I ever thought possible. I've also referred many friends, each who decided to pursue their cases, were very happy in the end. Honestly this guy is a Force of Nature and we are super lucky to have him in the Bay, with the housing climate as it is. read more

Tiffany from Marc Branco's firm was honestly the most apt, professional, timely and phenomenal lawyer I have ever worked with. An absolute LIFE SAVER. I don't regret one penny I spent on their services, and I never say that about anything. I'm a first-time landlord, and unfortunately had a very violent situation happen with a tenant, and I was at a total loss, not being well-versed in landlord/tenant law. Tiffany helped me through everything in the most informative and competent way, I am so thankful to her and Marc Branco's firm, I truly am. Such a weight lifted, and my other tenants' lives are so much better because of it. The best money I spent this year, and I never thought i'd say that about a law firm. Just truly a life saver. read more

Marc is wonderful!! I had a very stressful situation come up with my leasing company and a lawyer they involved, and I had no idea where to go for help. Marc spent only ONE hour with me in a free consultation--yes, that is correct--and advised me on a couple things to do that completely resolved the issue. I was truly distraught and felt saved thanks to Marc Branco. THANK YOU Marc for taking the time to help me out of your very busy day! I am eternally grateful. read more

Horrible experience! I want to put minus ten stars to that place. The issue with my landlord could have been easily solved, but these people manipulated me to stay in a conflictual situation, so they keep charging me. They will charge you even if they write you a one sentence email or have a five-minute conversation, pretending to fifteen-minute work. Many times I was ignored for weeks. They didn't even bother to respond on my questions the same or the next day. I had to wait and wonder what's going on. In the beginning Marc Branco reassured me that he will handle my case and that I would be in compensatory. They kept me in that stressful situation and in the fear that without them I will lose my apartment for 7 additional months. So, they could get more money from me instead of helping me. They made up new issues and forced me to pay them more than sixteen thousand. I didn't expect to lose so a lot of money on a guaranteed case under any circumstances. When I asked to give me a reasonable explanation to review the strategy for my case, Marc Branco ended the contract with me without even finishing my case in a very rude disrespectful manner. Very unprofessional, cold heart and ruthless people. I consulted with another attorney about their firm after my case was closed and told they have a very poor reputation. I believe in Karma!! read more

Marc Branco is an exceptional resource for Renters in protection of their rights as tenants. Marc is that rare lawyer, who is accessible, genuinely cares about justice, quickly discerns what is essential, then finds the best solution. My roommate and I were served a 60-day notice to vacate our home. I talked to a few lawyers regarding this notice but Marc was the only one that gave me pro-active advice. The other lawyers I talked to said I should wait until I was served an Unlawful Detainer, then sue my landlord for unlawful eviction. I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay in my home. When I spoke to Marc he suggested sending my landlord a letter, and advised me that an Unlawful Detainer would stay on my record permanently even if I won. None of the other lawyers even mentioned this to me, as a long time renter I can't afford to have something like that on my record. Marc sent my landlord a letter advising him of my rights as a tenant and the consequences of violating those rights. After receiving this letter my landlord never said another word about me having to move. Since then my landlord decided to sell the property. One day I came home to find a business card from a Realtor, when I called he informed me that the property was going up for sale. The Realtor tried bullying my roommate and I to show the property with no notice, or verification from our landlord. Once again Marc sent both the Realtor and my landlord a letter stating my rights as a tenant while the property is being sold. Since the letter both Realtor and landlord started obeying the law. I would use Marc again if I had any problems. I felt taken care of and felt like I was being protected. It felt good having him on my side. read more

Lauren handled my case and I received the desired settlement. She was very professional and responsive to my needs. I received honest information about what I was entitled to and felt that everything was being done under the power of the law to get that. read more

Mr. Branco and his team did a great job supporting us throughout the process of contesting a wrongful eviction. He was helpful in our initial consultation by efficiently and effectively determining a legal plan and strong approach to our case. Everybody was very empathetic to our concerns, especially when the case became more complicated, but the continued support and determination of these lawyers assured us that the process would yield results. Eventually, we were able to settle the case in a way which was beneficial to our interests and I think that the level of professionalism and confidence that Mr. Branco and his team brought to the table accounted for our success. I have already recommended this firm to others in person and I am happy to extend this reference to the broader community. read more

Recently, I was placed in a very stressful position of confronting my landlord about some changes they made to our building. When I first reached out to Marc Branco and Partners I did not know anything. I had no idea if I was in the right, or wrong, what my rights as a tenant were, and what options were available to me to resolve the dispute. I met with Lauren and she was simply amazing. She took time to sit down with me and review my tenancy over the last 7 years. She walked me through the process and my options. She informed me that my concerns were valid and that I should be taking action. Over the next few months Lauren methodically prepared and presented our case. At each step of my case Lauren informed me of my options, asked for my opinion and did nothing without my approval. When I was skeptical that we should keep fighting, Lauren's confidence and experience with these issues put me at ease. When I was intimidated by the big firm they brought on, Lauren wasn't, she fought for me until we reached a resolution that met all of my needs without compromising. Lauren made a stressful, and overwhelming, situation very easy and manageable with her expertise and compassion for renters. I would recommend Marc and Lauren wholeheartedly for any of your landlord tenant disputes. read more

I went to Marc for a free consultation about a tricky lease agreement. Marc is a great listener and gave solid advice for the situation. He addresses the concern of the client and doesn't project his own bias. I will definitely return to Marc Branco! read more
