Affordable and Quality Representation

Our only regret is that we did not find and hire Mr. Cahan sooner to help us with nightmare tenants. Mr. Cahan is an excellent attorney when you need assistance with the eviction of unreasonable and combative tenants refusing you reasonable access to your property for reasons specified in your writt...en lease agreement.

Very Helpful

Although the name change I needed on a trust didn't take place, because I didn't have enough information, he was very helpful. I didn't meet him in person, but we communicated several times over the phone and through email. He was friendly, and I felt very comfortable with him.

Posted by Shane | March 19, 2015 | Landlord & Tenant

Excellent Consultation

Mr. Cahan took the time to call me back and go over my situation in depth. He gave me the advice I needed to resolve my landlord issues and he gave me peace of mind that I have somebody to turn to if needed. He is very friendly, not threatening, and seems to genuinely care about helping out people in... need.

Excellent Results! Could not have been happier with his services!

Mr. Cahan immediately responded to my inquiry and reviewed my case. He was very informative and knowledgeable on landlord tenant disputes which gave me much needed comfort being that I was dealing with a very established management company. He clearly explained how he would proceed to resolve my disp...ute and the associated costs. He was also upfront about the additional cost that would be required if the case had to go to court. The costs of his services were very reasonable. The dispute was resolved outside of court and I received my deposit back in full. I would definitely recommend Richard Cahan and will use him in the future if needed. Thank you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
