I highly recommend Tracy and Donna if you need eviction lawyers for a Long Beach property. You…read moredon't want to handle the first eviction yourself, especially if you have tenants/occupants who are trying to game the legal system. You hire these lawyers because they know the court system for Long Beach cases, the judges, opposing counsel -- for their experience, expertise and prior interactions with common opposing counsel b/c they have seen it all. Their assistant Kimberlyn also provided excellent customer service & was very quick to respond to my emails. As a landlord/property manager and client, you should still advocate for yourself even if you hire representation: if you retain the firm to represent you, ask about timelines & how long it takes to prepare and file/service notices and complaints. Follow up, update the firm on whether the tenant responded to your notice, ask for status. I didn't know it would take several days to prepare and serve each 3-day notice to perform/quit so this was a surprise to me. This is the only thing I wish I had more visibility into beforehand. But overall, I was happy with the outcome of my case. For those who complain about having to pay for the initial consultation, you can't expect these professionals to take calls for free. If they took free calls all day, they wouldn't make any money. My initial consultation was specific to my scenario: Donna read through the lease agreement, a summary of my case which I drafted, and other evidence, and gave me her legal opinion. If you decide to get an initial consult, be honest in the info you share and be clear on what the issues are. You are paying them for this assessment & to determine if you have a case, so lay it out. You're not getting some generic legal opinion. Very grateful that I found these lawyers. I hope I don't have to go through another eviction, but if I do, I know who I am retaining.

I definitely recommend Attorney Pettway for any Landlord/Tenant issues…read more I was dealing with a very complex situation with my previous residence and was quite hopeless to be honest with you. I was in an unfair rental agreement with 2 other roommates during a pandemic and Atty Pettway was the only one I spoke to who was willing to find a way to help me. Signing a retainer agreement with her was the best solution for my situation seeing as that includes consultations, demand letter, negotiations, etc. I found her to be very professional and empathetic to my situation and put my mind at ease. It was 100% worth the money!

I worked with Catalina for a one-hour consultation involving a seller non-disclosure and…read moremisrepresentation situation. She reviewed my purchase contract, disclosures thoroughly, caught what mattered, and gave me honest, no-BS clarity on my next steps. From the moment we started, she skipped the fluff and got straight to work. Every minute counted and none of it was wasted. She spotted that my SPQ and TDS were not up to date after disclosures were added later, and made sure I knew to be BCC'd on all communications going forward. These are exactly the kinds of things you don't know to look for until it's too late. Her background as both an attorney and a real estate agent gives her perspective that most attorneys simply don't have. But what struck me most is that she is a true advocate for you. I walked away feeling informed, confident, and truly protected. If you need someone detail-oriented, straight to the point, and genuinely in your corner, I highly recommend her.

I really appreciate all the help attorney Martinez and his team provided to us. It was a very uncertain situation because I did not know what to do, and I was overwhelmed with all the online information from ChatGPT to Google. I felt the empathy since the first time we interviewed, his team provided me with the all the answers and even tough I didn't like some of the answers they were very honest and direct since day one. Also the process of my case was very fast, even before than I expected. They also prioritized medical assistance for myself, making sure I could recover in a timely manner. The team was very supportive in all the process answering my questions, phone calls and literally taking me by hand to understand this process, forms medical recovery. Gaby was the person working on my case with attorney Martinez, she was very good on letting me know where my case was,and where we are going in the near future. That really provided me with peace of mind. I definitely would recommend Martinez Law Firm to any family, friend or coworkers.

Nice enough guy and seemed to know what he was doing. I was so convinced that I hired them twice for the same ongoing issue, so I paid a total of $5,000. At trial on the last date, I specifically asked Mr. Hunter to make sure that I would get a reasonable portion of my deposit back. He assured me that all the boxes were checked correctly and to make sure that I left the place broom swept. I also had another case with this company and so my other attorney was trying to prepare something and he needed to include my deposit return, but couldn't find it in the documents submitted. I called Mr. Hunter and was explaining to me that it was right there...then he pulled up the document himself and noticed he missed something and that my deposit was forfeited. He said, "sorry, I messed up" and got off the phone. My deposit was $5,000, what I had paid them! I reached out to Mr. Martinez to report the issue. He said Mr. Hunter was on vacation and would follow up once he got back on the 16th of July. It is the 27th. I have reached out twice and now Mr. Martinez will not respond. So my recommendation is to stay away from this law firm. I understand that mistakes happen, but take accountability, and more importantly, follow up. The fact that they have done neither shows that integrity is not their strong suit, and that makes them HORRIBLE at best!

He never asked for this review either, which goes on to show how much he deserves to be recognized for all his hard work! My boyfriend encountered mean and difficult tenants on his property in Los Angeles. I looked up many lawyers on yelp, and none was as compassionate as Andrew. Andrew never cut me off, and remembers my story. I could always reach Andrew through his personal number or email; there was never another receptionist in between to take my message. He was always ready to answer my questions, and honest to let me know if he needs time to investigate further. He was always willing to discuss multiple options with us, despite my tendency to go down the rabbit hole often. Even on his personal days off, he was responsive to my quest for updates. I can't imagine any other lawyer who would treat us with this much respect and time. I am so grateful to have found Andrew on yelp, and so glad that he was able to bring us the closure we need to finally sleep peacefully again. THANK YOU ANDREW! If you want a lawyer who is personable and stays on top of your case, Andrew is the man! Give him a call, and you won't regret it. I, for one, will definitely keep Andrew as my lawyer until he retires (hopefully, I wont need you again though) :)

I called them two days in a row and had my name and number taken down without getting a call back for 3 days. I let them know I would stop by since I saw they were down the street and the assistant said she would let the lawyer know. I went inside the building to find out they weren't even there anymore. The address on Yelp and google is wrong. When I called the assistant back, even she didn't know the correct address. I assume this is because she is working from home. I ended up getting in touch with the law office of David Farrell and was so glad that things turned out this way. David is all that his reviews say he is and I would highly recommend him if you can't get in touch with this office.
