California Property Law Group

Mid-Wilshire

California Property Law Group was able to evict a non-paying tenant we had. 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 !

I was renting out a house in The Valley that we inherited from my father. After 2 years we decided…read morenot be landlords anymore, but LA Housing Dept. decided for some reason that we didn't have a right to withdraw this house from the rental market. They refused to approve my application for my "Intent to Evict". They slyly asked me why I wanted to withdraw the house from the rental market and I told them honestly that we needed to sell the house. They informed me that "selling a property is not a legal reason to evict".!! So when I contacted CA Property Law Group I was quite frustrated. I initially spoke to Rafael and he told me to do the whole process with LAHD all over again and to refuse to say anything about selling the property. I was doubtful, but I did it and just like magic, LAHD did not even ask why I wanted to withdraw the property from the rental market. They simply approved the application. I'm not sure if they somehow knew I had retained legal services... LAHD has a lot of rules about when to do what. For instance, within 15 days of having the 60-day Notice served, the landlord is supposed to send the Relocation Assistance payment to the tenant. CA Property Law Group did not tell me this. Luckily I was looking over the LAHD packet and saw it in the fine print. I emailed them because the payment was already late and they told me to mail a check for the amount. They should have been on top of this, but they weren't. I had lots of questions, and they usually were asked and answered via email. Just be advised: they usually ONLY answer exactly what you ask. No extra or nice-to-know information will be given. And no warnings ahead of time. For example: my tenant paid his rent for the month after the 60 day notice was up. (He did not move out after the 60-notice). I didn't notice the payment in my account at first... when I did, I asked the lawyers about it... and ONLY THEN did they send me an attachment warning me of the danger of accepting ANY RENT after the notice is up and how it can jeopardize the eviction case. They told me to immediately return the rent to the tenant and mail him a letter stating that he is no longer my tenant and I will not accept any rent from him. I really would have appreciated a warning about this ahead of time! I could have sent him the letter BEFORE he made the payment. At the end of every email, they write "let us know if you have any questions". I definitely did have questions and at times, my emails with questions and concerns were ignored. When they were answered, Rafael sometimes answered curtly with one or two words. I did get a few detailed answers from Zachary Miller. I appreciated those. Many of my emailed questions were answered by what I assume were assistants or interns. It seemed like it was never the same person. Kenny Lim handled the court appearances in my case and was pleasant and efficient. He also took the time to attend a Zoom meeting with LA Housing Dept when the tenant appealed the determined Relocation Assistance payment. My end result was good. LA Property Law saw me through until the Sheriff lockout (for which I had to wait weeks) and then helped me write the declaration in the Motion to Enforce the Stipulated Judgement. The court awarded me a monetary judgement. Now I just have to collect it.

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.

I contacted them and from the moment I was contacted by the intake coordinator to meeting with Ariana Buriss, it was a seamless transition. I love the office, it's homey and professional. Exactly as I would want it to be to feel comfortable. The staff were incredibly professional and helpful. They replied to my questions quickly and were just super nice to boot! Meeting Ariana, she is kind and very down to earth but very smart and professional. I felt completely at ease with her, I never felt rushed, she knew exactly how to help on the situation I came to her for and had it completed in an incredible amount of time. I was literally shocked she completed everything by our next appointment. I am going to use her services again to set up a trust. I would highly recommend using her and her office. Going to an attorney can be like going to the doctor, all you want is for someone to listen and address your needs and she did that and more. What a relief! Don't hesitate just book the appointment.

From the very first consultation to the final resolution, working with Chiao&Wu was an absolute…read moregame-changer. Professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable, their team made a stressful situation so much more manageable. Ching Chiao, Esq. was everything you'd hope for in a lawyer--sharp, strategic, and genuinely invested in helping me navigate my case. They took the time to explain every detail, answered all my questions (even the ones I didn't know I had), and always made me feel like a priority. The level of care and attention I received was exceptional. I never felt like "just another client." Their communication was prompt, their strategy was smart, and the outcome was way better than I expected. Honest, effective, and downright impressive. I'm incredibly grateful I found them!

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.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Vojdani yesterday, and I genuinely cannot express how…read moregrateful I am for his time, professionalism, and compassion. Despite his busy schedule, he made time to speak with me at 9:20 PM, well after normal business hours. I honestly can't imagine many attorneys going out of their way to accommodate someone so late in the evening, especially without charging a single dollar. We spoke for approximately 15 minutes about a particularly difficult and complicated legal matter. Although my situation has limited legal options at the moment, Mr. Vojdani took the time to carefully listen, understand the circumstances, explain what could and couldn't be done, and guide me through my available options. What impressed me most wasn't just his knowledge and experience, but his genuine empathy, patience, and compassion. He never made me feel rushed, never interrupted me, and thoughtfully addressed every concern to the best of his ability. In a world where legal services can often feel transactional, this experience truly stood out to me. So many attorneys charge substantial fees just for an initial consultation, while others require you to speak with an assistant, explain your entire situation, and then wait to see whether an attorney might eventually return your call for a brief conversation. Mr. Vojdani was different. Here was an attorney with over 20 years of experience, taking time out of his personal evening to speak with someone he had never met, with no payment, no retainer agreement, and no guarantee of future business. He simply wanted to understand my concerns and offer whatever guidance he could. That level of kindness, integrity, and professionalism is something I don't take lightly. Although there may not be much he or any other attorney can do about my particular situation at this moment, Mr. Vojdani will absolutely be the first person I contact should I ever need legal assistance in the future. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to my friends, family, and colleagues. And if you're reading this while considering reaching out to him, I would strongly encourage you to do so. Sometimes, what truly distinguishes a professional isn't just their expertise, but how they treat people when there's absolutely nothing in it for them. Mr. Vojdani demonstrated exactly that. Thank you again, Mr. Vojdani, for your generosity, your time, and most importantly, your humanity. I'm sincerely grateful.

I had a great experience with this attorney. He responded to my messages very promptly, even in the…read moreevening.

From the moment we spoke, he was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and generous with his time. He took the time to explain complex landlord-tenant issues in a way that was easy to understand and provided valuable insights that immediately helped me better understand my situation. What impressed me most was that James genuinely seemed to care about helping, not just rushing through a consultation. He answered my questions thoroughly, shared practical advice, and gave me a level of clarity and confidence that I had been struggling to find elsewhere. If you're dealing with a landlord-tenant issue and need guidance from someone who is experienced, professional, and truly committed to helping people, I highly recommend reaching out to James at The Landlord Advocates. My conversation with him was one of the most informative and helpful legal consultations I've ever had. Thank you, James, for your expertise, honesty, and willingness to help. It made a huge difference.

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.
