Binh Bui cost me thousands of dollars :(

I was experiencing severe neglect from my landlord in downtown Los Angeles. There was a pipe that exploded in my wall and a couple years later, mold started forming around my unit. I went ahead and paid for a certified mold inspection, which yielded positive results of 6 different types of mold. O...n Binh's recommendation, I went to Kaiser to get a check up. The doctor wrote that I was having an allergic reaction to the presence of mold. I consulted with Binh once I got the paperwork indicating this. All of a sudden, Binh says, oh you should go back and pay for an additional visit, because they didn't explicitly say X,Y, and Z. I thought to myself, wow, if you would have consulted me better, I could have gotten this done on my first visit. Anyways, Binh recommended that I move out of the unit. I questioned this, because I felt like the mold could have been properly remediated OR my landlord could have given me a different unit in the 250+ unit apartment building, if he was willing to send a letter to my landlord, give him a call, or do SOMETHING. My apartment was at a very affordable price, and the landlord was willing to move me to a different unit at the same exact price. Binh recommended that I move out immediately instead of doing anything on my behalf. He explained that my case would look better. I asked him if there were any time limits that would affect my case. He told me that there are statutory time limits, but my health problems would be reason enough for me to have a good shot at winning my case. Long story short, due to being advised poorly by Binh, I lost access to a new affordable apartment unit that was locked into rent control at a low cost. He didn't do any work whatsoever, and was never available to take my calls or advise me. Him and his firm simply take on too many cases and have no desire to help tenants with medical issues or inhabitability issues. They charge 50% of the winnings of any case. If you want somebody to help you figure out legal issues, DO NOT CONTACT THIS FIRM.

Honest

I had some difficulty with my first time renting with my lease contract Binh advised me very thoroughly and honestly on what I should do and actions that should be taken

Responsive, helpful, competitively priced.

Reached out for legal advice re: an issue my boss was facing with his rental property. Fast response (within 24 hours by both phone and text), great advice on how to proceed and an affordable fee if we chose to move forward in court.

"In working and knowing Binh for 13 years, I can’t recommend him enough as an attorney in the areas of immigration, landlord-tenant, and all forms of consumer debt resolution. Binh, first and foremost, truly cares about his clients. So many attorneys see the client as a way to make a living, but Binh’s dedication to the best outcome possible brings his clients back to him, time and time again. Further, his work is creative, and he sees litigation not as the end, but as a necessary tool, but only when needed, saving clients money and stress. Binh is a champion of the little guy in the fight. Hire him. You will not be disappointed."

"I endorse this lawyer. I am a family law attorney and have often had to refer clients to Mr. Bui who face issues with their landlords when a divorce is pending and there is no longer money to go around for rent. Mr. Bui has a 100% success rate on every client I have referred to him. In addition to referring mutual clients to him, I have also referred him clients for debt resolution and he has outstanding at dealing with creditors and getting results beyond expectations for all his clients. I highly recommend him for debt resolution and land lord tenant issues."
