Cyrus S. Whittaker

I had an outstanding experience working with my attorney on a very complex tenant vs. landlord case. What initially felt overwhelming and stressful was handled with professionalism, expertise, and a clear strategy from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, my lawyer was incredibly respon...sive, patient, and transparent. They took the time to explain every step, making sure I understood my options and felt confident in the decisions being made. Their attention to detail and deep knowledge of tenant law truly stood out. Most importantly, they were able to help us reach a favorable settlement in what felt like a very high-stakes situation. I genuinely believe the outcome would not have been as successful without their skill and dedication. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly competent but also genuinely cares about their clients, I would absolutely recommend them. I’m very grateful for their support and couldn’t be happier with the result.

Where to even begin? We found Cyrus through this website and couldn’t be more pleased with how professionally and thoroughly he handled our tenant/landlord case from start to finish. We originally contacted him for a consultation and ended up hiring him to handle our unique legal matter. From the ...outset he showed poise when we were feeling overwhelmed and bogged down with the law. Cyrus’ knowledge of the pertinent legal situation we found ourselves in was impressive. We had a few other consultations with other attorneys, who besides not appearing to have the expertise and knowledge of tenant/landlord laws, also seemed to just be interested in earning a quick buck. Cyrus on the other hand not only sounded extremely competent from the first time we spoke to him, but he also showed compassion and care for his clients and the outcome of the case, which was a breath of fresh air, and we felt reassured by him every step of the way. As for client/attorney communication, Cyrus was always available to provide updates, suggestions and reassurances to a very stressful situation. Cyrus is a phenomenal attorney and we cannot recommend him enough!

An eviction with a jury trial is a scary situation. Especially, this being my first time in court as a defendant. Cyrus gave 100% of his professionalism and skills from day one to winning my case. He was always supportive, informative, very patient, kind, but especially someone who cared about his cl...ient at all times. He guided me every step of the way with his knowledge, dedication, and expertise of the law. I strongly recommend Cyrus, for he is someone who really cares about his clients.

At first I had considered representing myself for an unlawful detainer (eviction) case, but I am very glad I didn't. Even though I hired him last minute, Cyrus still came through to deliver a victory after going to trial. Cyrus was patient with me taking the time to make sure he understood the case w...ell, did his homework and consulted others to make sure he was well prepared for trial. It was also clear he had established a good reputation with several judges he had worked with previously giving him greater credibility than some unknown attorney or some attorney known to employ shady tactics. During the trial, Cyrus was totally on point. He had a many layered strategy and several defenses. Each defense was clearly laid out and he used case law to support some of the less clearly defined details of particular laws that were relevant to our case. Cyrus also did not let the other side get away with anything, winning many objections. I could tell the other side was frustrated with their lack of maneuverability and I was very glad he was on my side. Overall, Cyrus is very smart, knowledgeable and talented and I know he will go far. I feel lucky to have had him represent me. On a side note, he is also just a nice guy and easy to work with. If you are considering hiring Cyrus, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Cyrus represented us in an eviction lawsuit. He knew the housing laws of California and Los Angeles extremely well, and was always ready to object to the plaintiff's claims or questions when Cyrus believed that they were not appropriate or not legal. He definitely had our interests in mind througho...ut his handling of the entire case, from start to finish. The plaintiff had 3 witnesses, and we did not have any--only me and my partner. We had evidence from surveillance videos and photos. But without presenting any of our evidence in the defense phase of the trial, he won the case by showing the point of the law and example of the law (case history). We won, and he was very patient with us, and very understanding, and very professional. In our opinion, this man is the best.
