Bartley Austin Babcock

Although Bartley was very busy, he empathized with my situation and did not want me to go in on the day of trial without a backup plan. I could not afford the full retainer just yet, so he agreed to fully prepare the jury trial documents for an agreed fee. I believe this also assisted in the settleme...nt agreement. Bartley truly helps tenants and if you have the opportunity, I fully suggest hiring him. These cases are costly, but you want to have a backup plan, do not give the landlord all the power when it comes to settling. Instead hire Bartley!

Thank God for Bartley Babcock the best Unlawful Detainer lawyer in existence! And a star litigator! I found myself in the most stressful unlawful detainer case brought by my egregious landlord Douglas Emmett. I live in rent controlled Santa Monica. One lie compounded by more lies and all of a sudden ...I was cast as a bad guy, in the judicial system, where I was treated as a non-person with no integrity. Bartley to the rescue! From the first meeting I knew I was in good hands. Meticulous with Briefs and very familiar with ‘low rent control paying tenants being evicted at any cost’ scenario, Bartley is brilliant, calm and fierce as he fought for me against 6 lying witnesses, a judge with very questionable motives – please don’t be naïve a company like Douglas Emmett own over 1,000 office buildings in Los Angeles County mostly renting to law firms. LA County judges are familiar with them and their pattern and practices. Bartley was undeterred, focused and kept pounding away with the facts and law. He was awesome! The jury saw through all the lies and I am sleeping just fine in my apartment of 30 years! Long time rent control tenants are targets for big corporations like Douglas Emmett. One apartment at market value can add half a million dollars to their bottom line and enabling them to purchase more buildings. Call Bartley Babcock! I am so grateful

Money well spent! I called for what seemed like a petty small claims issue and Bartley personally responded to me in less than 12 hours to set up an initial consult for a few minutes. His advice was sound, professional, and thorough. Bartley was able to get at the heart of the matter by extrapolatin...g and processing necessary information quicker than any other attorney I've spoken with to date. His advice was sound and considerate of both the small and large issues at hand. Finally an attorney with common sense, business sense, and specialized experience. If you're lookin for no-nonsense, specialized professional, go with Bartley Babcock!

We all know the reputation of a typical attorney: rushing you through a conversation, charging thousands of dollars by the second, a dragged out process with often disappointing results, leaving the experience feeling just as confused and unsure about your situation as you had been going into it… ... When working with Mr. Babcock, this is NOT the case. Mr. Babcock takes his time. No rushing. Without judgment, he explained fully the complicated legality of my case to ensure that I had the knowledge I needed about my situation. After a (no charge) in depth phone consultation, Mr. Babcock promptly met with me in person to go over my concerns. He even prepared for our meeting while he was on vacation (Unheard of customer care and attention!) On top of this, the fee was extremely reasonable and considerably lower than other estimates I had received. But the true reason Mr. Babcock is the best is his genuine care and concern for his clients. Before Mr. Babcock I was nearly in tears over the dispute with my landlord, feeling overwhelmed and lost. After Mr. Babcock, I feel confident and well informed. It is a blessing knowing that I have Mr. Babcock in my corner.

Nobody enjoys having to hire a lawyer, especially in my situation as it should not have come to this point, but I'm really happy that I found Bartley Babcock. He was great in helping me with my landlord/tenant case. He was extremely thorough when listening to my side of the story and gathering all ...of the details necessary to support my case. He was also excellent at quickly learning the precise timeline of my case before my trial so that he knew exactly what the judge would be expecting to hear. He has an excellent grasp of California's landlord/tenant laws and he is very bright. He told me what the opposing attorney's legal arguments would be and he was spot on, he even told me what evidence we can gather to undermine the other side's arguments. Bartley Babcock also did an excellent job with shielding me from a large amount of intimidation and bullying that came from the property management’s lawyer, who was attempting to intimidate me into into negotiating a deal that was terrible for me. I highly recommend the Law Office of Bartley A. Babcock for dealing with legal issues pertaining to landlord/tenant conflicts.
