Matthew Edward Abrams

Matthew coordinated a settlement with my landlord over an illegal, unsafe apartment violation. Before working with Matthew, it was an incredibly stressful situation and my landlord was not taking the situation seriously. Matthew stepped in and made the process seamless and I finally felt like I had s...omeone in my corner. We ended up settling for far more than I expected. Highly recommend for peace of mind and incredible results.

Matthew helped me resolve a dispute with a landlord who wanted to break my lease to sell the house I had recently rented. It was a difficult situation as I had barely settled into my new home. Matthew provided clear and effective advice at our first meeting. He drew up settlement papers to which the ...landlord agreed without argument. I had the best possible monetary outcome and was able to take the time I needed to find a new home. I am grateful to Matthew for taking the time to explain my legal options and for calming what could have been a contentious dispute with a landlord who was initially uncommunicative and uncooperative with me as a tenant. I recommend Matthew to anyone needing assistance navigating tenant and landlord matters. Thank you Matthew.

Matthew is exactly who you want when you are facing off against a landlord who assumes you don't know your rights or don't have any. He knows tenant law thoroughly and approached my case in a measured way and takes the most crucial, common sense steps in getting you justice. No empty promises but no ...important details left abandoned. My landlord is negligent and a bully and I was suffering continually due to her continued unwillingness to keep the apartment up to code and proper living standards. Many of my belongings were ruined due to rain leaks, floods, and ongoing plumbing issues, as well as a hazardous placement of a ceiling fan leaving my finger broken and permanently damaged. The landlord would trick me into believing there was no action required on her part, sending many harassing texts over the years. I reached out to Matthew and he sent thorough, eloquent demand letters and worked with a lot of patience and diplomacy with her insurance company toward helping me recoup what my belongings and suffering were worth. I felt very vindicated and my landlord even replaced all the plumbing in the building finally as well, and will likely never bully me again. Thank you, Matthew!

My building had a pipe burst and there was a huge flood. The city was called due to negligence of recovery and repairs from my landlords. An extremely stressful situation to be in. The property was an illegal unit. The city ordered my landlords to vacate the tenants and to pay us all relocation fe...es to move out. City codes were violated and it was an illegal operation. The landlords not only did not cooperate, but also harassed us and in the end unlawfully filed an eviction against me. I called Matthew in the beginning stages of the city complaints. He was incredibly helpful and informative in the beginning as a consult. Most of the lawyers I spoke to were very distracted and fast talking and hardly paid any attention to what I was saying or the details. They were incredibly vague and quick to then shove a hefty hourly rate before I even knew if I needed a lawyer or not. Matthew was the only one who really seemed to listen to my situation and offer me advice on how I could move forward or not. He was very kind and patient, yet professional. Once the city labeled our building as illegal I was threatened and then was served an eviction notice. Matthew advised me on how I could move forward on my own and or with his help. From that point on he represented me. I could not be more happy with the guidance and work that he did for me. He is incredibly fair and trustworthy. I left the situation with a settlement and did not even have to go to court. Matthew went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of in the end. Even going through the last stages of retrieving payments from my landlord was made complicated by lack on their end...Matthew rose to the occasion and made sure I was compensated. Even with challenging circumstances (without going into details). He was incredibly fair with pricing and empathetic towards my situation. He always told me ahead of time what I was looking at and what to expect so I could make an educated decision ...vs. other lawyers who I have heard about who are quick to do work for you and add charges later for things you never knew about and or were not even aware of. I was informed 100 percent of the time on what to expect. I also asked a million questions, all of the time! He is Always so professional and detailed with his responses and requests and I felt supported through out the whole journey...as well as educated through the process. Which may I add was quite long and frustrating at times. Dealing with landlords is a complete nightmare. Especially in Los Angeles. I feel very blessed to have found Matthew and his team to be, what I consider in my eyes to be the nicest lawyers in LA. Truly concerned for the well being of the client, and conscious through out the whole process. Thank you again for all your help Matthew! I am so very grateful for all your efforts!

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.
