Matthew Edward Abrams

I hired Matthew E. Abrams for an ongoing dispute that spanned many years. Matthew got familiar with all the material collected, consulted with me and finally presented a strong case that took care of my problem. I still hire Matthew on several occasions, he is always responsive, effective and has rea...sonable fees.

I had success with Matt a few years ago when he assisted me in evicting a squatter. This time around, the new property owners bought the property and tried to illegally evict everyone. I immediately called Matt. Matt is a capable and competent attorney who explains everything clearly. I had no do...ubt Matt would win my case. The new property owner has a storied history of illegally evicting tenants and flipping properties. Although Silver Lake is RSO (Rent Control), the company relentlessly tried to evict. After they filed an unlawful detainer, I met with Matt at his office and was impressed with his knowledge of how best to respond. Throughout the ordeal, Matt was professional and quick to respond whenever I called him with questions or concerns. His fee was reasonable and well worth it. Matt stopped the eviction and successfully got the case dismissed. I am forever grateful.

I own 2 6-unit apt. bldgs.; in May 2018, a difficult and complicated situation arose at one of the bldgs. which would normally have required an eviction, but because of Mr. Abrams' excellent guidance, the tenant agreed to voluntarily move. This saved me a good deal of expense, and time. Then se...veral months later a tenant in the other bldg. ceased paying his rent. I didn't hesitate, not even for a moment, to call Mr. Abrams! That also became a difficult situation; ultimately the tenant left after the Sheriff's visit and left behind an apartment and garage full of belongings, further complicating the situation. Mr. Abrams patiently guided me through the entire legal process. I've had some experience with other attorneys, and can sincerely say that in addition to being highly knowledgeable, Mr. Abrams is a pleasure to work with -- there's NOT a shred of impatience or arrogance in him. After the initial office visit, he was always available; I did not have to go through a secretary; I was never shunted off to an assistant. He was prompt with responses to my questions; he sometimes wrote me e-mails in response, and often telephoned me with information and updates. He was never in a hurry, always helpful and had carefully thought-out, creative solutions. I highly recommend him!

I had a brief consultation with Mr. Abrams and he was so helpful in his guidance. He was prompt in responding to me - he listened and asked questions, making me feel acknowledged in how I was feeling about the situation. It's very easy to feel patronized or dumb when it comes to legal issues - he di...dn't make me feel like that at all. I am confident in his knowledge and expertise on tenant/landlord issues - will be contacting him again for future needs. Highly recommend him.

I called Matthew and he patiently listened to each and every one of my questions/concerns, was able to organize and sort through my convoluted problem and give a very sharp and succinct answer. After only 20minutes, I got off the phone with him with laser clarity on how I needed to move forward. He g...ave me a clear strategy and plan of action, and all with no sales pitch or obligation to pay anything. If I need to move forward with a UD for my tenant landlord matter, I will definitely be giving him a call, and I suggest you do to!
