This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Eviction in North Hills

I needed help on eviction, and I was turned down by many because in Los Angeles, Landlords have minimal rights. David walked me through the process and was there throughout until the end. David is an absolute professional.

Exactly what I needed

Mr. Piotrowski gave me advice, pointed out weaknesses in my rental agreement, and provided a way going forward for me to be in the best legal standing. He also cited specific civil codes for me read up on to get more details. This is exactly what I needed out of a consultation. He is obviously very k...nowledgeable and experienced in this matter. As we know, Los Angeles has some very strict landlord-tenant laws which heavily favor the tenant (yes, even the “bad” ones). The point is that I feel very much at ease and secure about my situation because of his thorough and easy to understand explanations. This is basically exactly what I needed from a consultation call. It is invaluable because money does not buy peace of mind.

David shared his expertise and listened to my concerns. He explained things very clearly in terms I understood. He was extremely patient and I like the way he responded to emails.

Knowledgeable & Concise

I use David's firm for an urgent tenant issue. I was able to set up a consultation appointment swiftly all the way from Hong Kong with 15 hours time difference. David reviewed the documents I uploaded and was able to provide me a quick summary of the latest regulations. I particularly like the ...portal where you could submit information and documents on the issue at hand. It was a concise, timely, no non-sense meeting. I plan on hiring David's firm for my on-going tenant related matters. Thank you!

Current eviction law to help in due dilligance to purchase a rental property

I needed a consultation about the current eviction laws (May 2021) as I am in the process of due diligence to purchase a SFH with an existing tenant. I needed an expert in this specific niche of landlord law, the information he provided gave me additional knowledge to make an informed decision. ... The consultation was very good- answered my questions accurately and gave me the knowledge to factor into how or if I wished to proceed. To make the best use of time, before the telephone consult, the office sent me a simple questionnaire to fill out prior to the paid telephone consult. This form asked for background information about the purpose of the call and what I hoped to accomplish. This was a good idea as I was able to distill my thoughts into direct questions and think of other questions that could be answered during the consult. By giving the information prior, David P was up to speed on what I needed and no time was wasted. If you are a owner/landlord with rental property I suggest you have a consultation (telephone works well) with David if you have any inkling or thought there may be any legal or potential legal challenges in dealing with tenants. Being accurately informed before something happens or gets out of hand is well worth your time. I am very happy with the legal advice he provided. Now I made make an well informed decision
