If you ever need a real estate attorney - it's Shannon Burkhead! Let me tell you all the reasons why she is simply the best, a great listener, super speedy in her responses and on top of everything! Shannon and I connected around fall of last year and since then I could not have asked for the most wonderful real estate attorney to be in contact with. She makes the move out process so smooth and stress free, she listens - actually listens and hears you - she super responsive with emails and phone calls (if needed), she explains the process if you've never been through a move out before in detail with language you can understand. Not legal jargon. She's patient, she isn't pushy to rush you into making a decision as it's life changing! It's because she is compassionate and she understands that decisions like moving out is a big one. Shannon knows how to work the balance of working for her clients (landlords) and tenants. That's a very hard thing to do that not many real estate attorneys can do. It's a rarity and it's because she's the best and the one you should definitely hire and work with as a landlord. She gets it done and she gets it done fast. You want exemplary work? Don't waste time going online and researching. Contact Shannon Burkhead! read more

If you're in need of an attorney, you're stressed out enough already. Working with Michael McLaughlin put my mind at ease and let me sleep peacefully at night. I recently consulted with McLaughlin Yeh regarding a small business dispute. From the very first moment, Michael McLaughlin walked me through the steps of uncovering all the details of the situation, organizing them into their legal relevance and providing a succinct overview in just one call. He took a potentially complex legal tangle and put it in smart, direct context immediately. Michael was both knowledgeable and friendly and felt like a true partner on my team. By the end of the consultation I had all the answers to my questions and a clear path forward. If you're looking for professional, experienced and detail-oriented results - all with the human touch - then look no further. I now have McLaughlin Yeh on speed-dial. read more

My husband & I moved back to SF & wanted to reclaim our house to ourselves. One of our tenants went to Justa Cause (an agency that fights for tenant rights) with false accusations against us. Afraid we'd get into further trouble, we hired MC Hall & Associates, and Andres Sanchez was assigned to our case. In fact we had two cases, because we had two tenants (families). He was efficient, a good listener, gave us much needed advise & stayed on top of things. Especially when time was of essence, he gave us the peace of mind that he's got our backs covered. And in the legal environment in this city concerning evictions, that means a lot. If you need a pro-landlord attorney who knows his way around the legal system that is biased against landlords, I sincerely recommend Andres! Btw, with reliable legal counsel, & plenty of prayer, our tenants have all vacated! read more

Johnny Yeh has the two characteristics I look for in any attorney. One, he's an incredible listener. When I've sought from him legal input and advice (both in litigation and business advice), he absorbs a lot (I can talk pretty fast), asks really good questions, doesn't rush me, and understands what my needs and priorities are. That leads me to the second quality I look for in an attorney, which he has in spades. After taking in what is going on with me, he lends his agile mind to the situation, and voila! He gets me to think through things that had yet to even occur to me, and he does it in this really user-friendly way. read more

Shannon Burkhead was amazing to work with! Shannon was professional and knowledgeable while at the same time compassionate and understanding of what I, as a property owner was going through. The rights of the property owner is San Francisco have all but been stripped away and she helped me navigate the SF Rent Board, as well as, be a buffer between insurance attorneys, property managers and tenants. She helped make a very stressful and difficult situation a little more bearable! Hopefully, I'll never have to experience a situation like this again but if I do I will be reaching out to Shannon at McLaughlin Sanchez. read more

I called McLaughlin Sanchez in an emergency eviction for a violent tenant. I had tried going myself to City offices and while individuals did try to direct me, I wasted most of a day in rides from place to place and never got any traction. Shannon Burkhead returned my call promptly and quickly understood the situation. Shannon and her assistant Julian immediately got paperwork filed for an eviction and temporary restraining order. I recommend Shannon not only for emergencies like mine, but also for all landlord issues, including lease drafting and counsel on landlord/tenant law in San Francisco. read more

I am writing this review with the upmost sincerity. I was in a horrible situation with so many complicated issues. I contacted these folks and I can't say enough about their professionalism. Andres Sanchez was patient and understanding and pretty much did the impossible for me. I am so grateful for the hard work and diligence of Andres Sanchez. The process was difficult, but to have someone like him in my corner we were able to make it all work. I know there are hundreds of lawyers out there, trust me when I say that he is the best. Thanks for helping me get things in my life back on track. read more

I deeply regret choosing this law firm. The level of inefficiency I experienced was astonishing. They charged me for every single phone call, whether I called them or they called me--even for texts! Over time, these unnecessary charges added up to around $16,000, and yet, nothing meaningful was accomplished in my case. I feel completely ripped off. If I had taken the time to read reviews beforehand, I would never have gone with this firm. I strongly advise anyone considering them to look elsewhere. Save your money and avoid the frustration I went through. read more

My wife and I used Michael McLaughlin for recent tenant/landlord questions and we couldn't have been happier with his insight, professionalism and authenticity. He was no nonsense and explained everything in simple, plain terms. He provided timely responses, both over email and on the phone. He did a great job helping us navigate the fairly complicated rental culture in San Francisco. We strongly recommend him to any others (landlords or tenants) who want the straight story. read more

He's the lawyer you want on your side! read more

Michael helped me FINALLY get out of a TIC situation that dragged on for 7 years while I tried to do it the nice way. I wish I had gotten in touch with him earlier. TIC law is tricky - don't ever ever enter into a TIC arrangement without a contract. But if you happen to have done so and need to get out, call these guys. Michael knows when t play hard ball and when to soften up and is a joy to work with. read more

One of the things that impressed me the most about Andres is that he gets back to you ASAP. I've had the experience of waiting around for attorneys to call me back and have become frustrated time and time again. I really appreciated his timeliness and of course his superior knowledge of the law in landlord/tenants relations. My case was resolved amicably and each party has moved on. Thanks, Andres. read more

McLaughlin missed the deadline; then took mine whole $10,000. Total malpractice, irresponsible. Refused to refund. Probably the CalBar should do an audit. Not knowledgeable, expensive & double billings... McLaughlin also broke up with his former partner, then joined Sanchez. Stay away. Current legal system totally against the consumers, the clients. read more
