Ronen Zargarof

For the last year I endured the horrendous experience of being was one if the unlucky residential landlords during the current pandemic. I had several units that were all occupied by tenants that had been served with unlawful detainer suits way prior to the onset of covid, but these tenants immediate...ly took advantage of loopholes with out even paying any type of bare minimum (that would have actually been okay with management). To sum it up, Ronen was incredibly cerebral when dissecting each defendant’s unique scenario and was able to identify laws that were successfully applied as exceptions to eviction immunity—eventually ejecting my non paying tenants in a much quicker time span than we expected. Not to mention there was an attempted class-action against us from several of the same disgruntled tenants in order to try and gain some kind of leverage due to their attempt to involve the local press, which Ronen dealt with impeccably (and actually made us clearly look like the actual victims!) This attorney does not get frazzled in the midst of adversity, he actually invites it with excitement and his performance is evidence of this.

My partners and I purchased a large home for a remodel and investment/rental property. The previous tenant of many years was locked in an archaic lease that had us going in circles--almost impossible to get him out. These guys never gave up and by taking a slick systematic approach Ronen was able to... put us in a position to begin our project much earlier than anticipated, while also creating a settlement that made the other side very happy as well.

I was in a dispute over the sale of a 5-unit commercial property because the buyer, after the sale was completed discovered that one of the units was actually considered to be residential and was taking me to mediation to have a portion of the sale price returned to him and was asking for a ridiculou...s amount. I was completely unaware that all units were not commercial and to be honest I felt that both my broker and the escrow company dropped the ball in many ways and got me into this bind. In the beginning of mediation I thought that maybe we might not have a position that would be strong enough for a favorable outcome. But as things moved forward Ronen was able to use angles that were creative and effective. He was able to bring both my broker’s agency and the escrow company and to shoulder a majority of it the settlement. Not only did I obtain the releases I needed so that I could walk away from the transaction with a piece of mind, but after being the sole respondent in a mediation demanding that I cough up over $300k, I ended paying barely 10 percent of that amount. :)

Ronen delivers. He saved me from $40k of debt and a felony and that was exactly what he promised. Ronen’s relentless. He did everything he could to make sure I was treated fairly and not pushed around by the big nameless faceless housing corporation and their extremely well paid counsel. Go win with ...Ronen.
