    We help tenants when their unit is uninhabitable (mold, rats, no hot or cold water, etc.), they were wrongfully evicted or locked out, their rental unit had no certicate of occupancy, they were injured in their building, and many other issues.

    14 years

The Harouni Law Group, APLC, devotes its entire legal practice to tenants’ rights issues. While other businesses dabble their toes in different areas of law, becoming masters of none, the Harouni Law Group does the opposite. We are passionate about what we do, and we pride ourselves in achieving justice for underserved communities. This passion, combined with over 40 years of combined excellence in litigation and the resources to handle multi-plaintiff litigation, results in great outcomes for our clients, whether our client is an individual tenant or a group of 400 tenants in a building suing a common landlord.


The attorneys and staff at the Harouni Law Group have an understanding of the complex issues involved in landlord-tenant disputes, and also understand the physical, mental, and emotional toll it takes on our clients. We give our clients individualized attention, whether they are the only plaintiff or one of hundreds of plaintiffs in a multi-tenant lawsuit against a common landlord, to ensure we can give them the support and representation they need. Our attorneys have handled thousands of cases, and we are renowned in the area of housing disputes.


Do not be afraid of landlord retaliation. California has very strong laws against landlord retaliation to prevent eviction and to sue for money whenever a landlord dares to retaliate. Your home should be your sanctuary. No one should have to live in a dangerous or uninhabitable home.


Our representative cases include slum housing and habitability issues, wrongful eviction and lock-outs, unpermitted units, housing discrimination, housing harassment, retaliation, rent-controlled protections, and other housing related issues.

 

Get in touch with the Harouni Law Group today to receive your free consultation. We only get paid a percentage of what we actually collect from your landlord plus costs, meaning we take nothing if we don’t collect anything.. Se habla espanol.

Kaivan Haurini: Top Lawyer for Landlord Tenant Law After contacting hundreds of attorneys for over a year, Kaivan Harouni is THEE ONLY attorney to accept and WIN my civil harassment case against my landlord. Kaivan's WIN helped me to proceed and focus on punishing the pathetic illegal Anti-American squatters from hell that harassed my 84 year old mother. Kaivan Harouni is the best, Joseph

Problem Solved
We contacted Mr. Harouni after we had gone through three loan modification processes and had gotten no where. We spent three difficult years frustrated faxing documents, bank statements, contracts, and spending money on fees. We even had people knock on our front door asking to see our apartment building because a source had revealed that we were about to lose our property to later find out it was one of the people who were supposed to be helping us. Forty-eight hours before losing our property through foreclosure, we learned about Mr. Harouni by searching the web in hope of a miracle, and such miracle came through. From the moment we started working with Mr. Harouni and his team, our lives changed completely. The distance to his office and fees were all worth the attention we were given. We felt someone actually cared about helping us save what we had worked so hard for. Mr. Harouni and his team not only helped us keep our property and go through a successful loan modification, but also helped us regain control of our lives. Our family will always be grateful to Mr. Harouni and his staff.

outstanding doesn't even begin to describe Kaivan!!
I hired Kaivan to pursue a lawsuit against my mortgage company and to also seek a loan modification. He not only got me the results I wanted, he went beyond that and some how got me a refund on a previous, fraudulent "law firm" (RBC LAWFIRM) I hired a year earlier. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a positive result in their case!!

David about Mr.Kaivan Harouni
My case was a very difficult one. My wife, who was the sole borrower on the mortgage loan, passed away after she got the loan. Prior to her passing away, we had defaulted on the loan because all of our income was being used to pay for her medical bills. The lender was threatening to foreclose. I did not want to lose my home at my age. I had nowhere else to go. I contacted Mr. Harouni at the Harouni Law Group for help. He immediately sued the lender for laws that I didn't even know existed. In the end, Mr. Harouni was able to convince the lender to not only allow me to assume the loan so that I would become the new borrower, but to modify my loan with great terms as well. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Mr. Harouni and his staff. I would recommend them to anyone.

Foreclosure/Successful Loan Modification
We hired Kaivan to help us with what we thought was a hopeless situation trying to save our family home from a bank foreclosure. It was a very complex and difficult case. But Kaivan succeeded and we have him to thank this holiday season for being able to celebrate in our home! He is a very professional lawyer but the time, energy and caring nature he has is what got us through the most stressful and emotional time in our lives. There are not enough words to express our gratitude for all the hard work, long hours and pep talks that was needed. He is highly recommended from us.

A True Hero
Mr. Harouni fought for us like a mother bear protecting it's young. He forced the mortgage company to negotiate through their lawyers not their modification department. In doing so, guaranteeing in writing that they would honor their agreement. Without Mr Harouni, we would surely have lost our home.

Loan Modification
I hired Kaivan and his team to take over the negotiation with my mortgage company. It took a little time, it wasn't cheap, but we got the best loan mod that we could hope for. Kaivan and his team were professional and thorough. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs this kind of service.

Great Work
Unfortunately we came to Kaivan after our house was foreclosed on so there was no saving the house at that point and he was confident he could've saved our home if we had come to him sooner. Kaivan helped us stay in our home until we found a new place to stay, which was a great deal of help. Furthermore, Kaivan was hired to go after the mortgage lender in an attempt to salvage some funds for us for the banks wrongdoings, and I'm glad to say Kaivan was successful in the case. We were hoping to get a little more of a payout, but at this point, anything helps and am grateful to have hired Kaivan.

The best for foreclosure defense
Mr. Harouni helped me out of a HUGE ditch I was in with Nationstar - one of the absolute worst servicers known. Without a doubt he is the best for foreclosure defense and I'm so glad I picked him to represent me. He was very thorough with the whole process, and his office staff were always available to answer questions. I couldn't have wished for a better result than keeping my home with an affordable loan mod. I'm forever grateful and will refer him without a doubt to anyone that is in danger of foreclosure :)

Delivered on what he expected to achieve
As a last hope prior to losing my home, I contacted Kaivan after having spent well over a year trying unsuccessfully to secure a loan mod with my mortgage servicer. After explaining my situation to him, he quickly formulated a strategy that I could execute with his help with the ultimate goal being to secure a loan mod. He expressed a high degree of confidence that success would be possible and was very clear about the cost of his services. In the end, he delivered on exactly what he said he'd likely be able to deliver with no hidden costs or nasty surprises. Kaivan and his team get my highest recommendation for their clarity in setting expectations and their subsequently delivering on those expectations.

Kaivan and his staff and went out of their way to make sure I understood clearly the process and my issue was resolved well beyond just executing a request. His staff is amazing.

Super Lawyer
Yes, Kaivan is a certified super lawyer. When I had faced a foreclosure proceeding against Wells Fargo Mortgage (WFM), which is the toughest mortgage servicer in the country, Kaivan took charge and worked expeditiously and diligently. As the case had moved forward and WFM had started weaken its position, Kaivan kept his charge against them. As a result, WFM had changed their counsel three (3) times. Though at the end of 5 years of battle, I had vacated the home. It was time and a right thing to do due to my marital status change. In addition, he was very fair about his fee. Kaivan is a justice minded attorney and I felt confident in his handling manner. Should you need an attorney or legal advice, I certainly recommend him for your real estate concern. Thank you, Kaivan!

Well you won't be disappointed in hiring Kaivan and his legal team. He saved our home from foreclosure auction and got us a modification that fit our financial situation. He negotiated endlessly for us and never gave up even when we thought otherwise. His staff is so professional, timely and consistent with returning calls and maintaining contact with you, which is so comforting in such a turmulchious situation . I would highly recommend Kaivan.

"Good news!"
Those were the sweetest words to hear from Kaivan...Count my family in as one of the many who can happily say, "Kaivan Harouni saved our home!" Kaivan and his associates were able to stop the foreclosure sale with a TRO which paved the way for a loan modification review. The servicer whom the bank sold the mortgage to is one those "foreclosure mills" who literally will not work with you. In other words, it's a miracle if a borrower gets a loan modification from them. They had us apply for a loan modification review and of course we were denied. But with Kaivan's strong negotiation skills, his appeals secured us a Trial Modification with the best possible terms. Kaivan was always there for any questions and replies promptly. He has extensive knowledge of the loan modification review process and knows where/when the servicer violates the California Homeowner Bill of Rights. We trusted him to look out for our best interests and he did. We highly recommend him.

Litigation
Harouni Law Group is definitely the firm to hire if you want to save your home. Period. Carrington Mortgage Services is probably one of the toughest mortgage servicer out there and to make matters worst, Deutsche Bank was my lien holder. I fought them myself for over 2 years and they just won't give me a chance and I consider myself as a pretty good negotiator since I am a licensed realtor. To make a long story short, I finally gave up and hired Kaivan Harouni. It wasn't an easy battle at all. In fact, Deutsche Bank brought their big legal guns out, Wolfe and Wyman LLP, a huge law firm from Irvine California and fought us all the way. It got really ugly especially when they called us in for the deposition. The opposing counsel Kelly Beal, who was representing Deutsche Bank was really rude and starting blaming me and my wife for everything that happened to the point were he was already humiliating us. Fortunately, Steven Nguyen from Harouni Law Group was there with us in the room to stop the harassment. Talking about defense and protection, that's what Steven Nguyen gave us that day and never backed down from these so called big shot celebrity lawyers. Steven shut him up. I really got nervous that day and started second guessing Kaivan's technique because I wasn't really sure if pissing off the opposing counsel was a really good idea. Frankly, I even considered firing Kaivan. Since I was already in too deep and committed to Kaivan, I decided to stick with him and go to trial as planned. On the 11th hour, Carrington decided to review me again for a loan modication which they denied again for the 3rd time. Wow, I was finally starting to accept the fact that this is it for me, I lost the case and finally have to move out. Kaivan decided to withdraw the case before the trial so this actually restarted a new default process from scratched which actually worked out to my advantage. So now, after more than a year in litigation, I had to start from scratch and submit a new loan modification package. But Carrington knew that I still had Kaivan representing me so they were very careful this time around because they were aware that if I ever get denied again for the 4th time, a brand new lawsuit is going to be filed against them that could last another year or two. Kaivan's technique finally worked and I got my loan modification finally approved. I will be sending in my first trial period payment next month. This is my 2nd HAMP Loan Modification in 5 years. I am so happy to have saved my home and so thankful to Harouni Law Group. You need a tough and intelligent lawyer like Kaivan if you really want to keep your home. He is the real deal. I have 4 kids and we would have been renting an apartment right now if it wasn't for Kaivan. Home ownership is my top priority. I am glad I met Kaivan. He is indeed a miracle worker. I will forever be grateful to Harouni Law Group. I highly recommend him
