James William Burmeister

I hired Mr. Burmeister in 2005 and again in Aug 2012. Rarely do landlords and property managers need to reach out to an eviction attorney if the tenant prescreening process is done correctly. When circumstances change and the tenant relationship with the owner/manager become unruly, James Burmeister ...is the professional to call! I met him in 1999 when a Mira Costa College professor asked him to speak at our property management class about tenant-landlord law. He’s a fair minded person that has a fiduciary to his client, with that said a reasonable a tenant could approach him to explore a fair/equitable outcome for all parties vs. the judge and maybe the sheriff getting involved. I’m very aware of deadbeat landlords/managers – some are sloppy and others can be malicious. There’s a vetting process that Mr. Burmeister uses and in the end there are cases he can’t or won’t take.

I made a courtesy call to this Eviction Attorney, who represented one of his clients. I was bringing him updated information about the property. He could care less, he told me, "I don't have time to listen to what you have to say, Goodbye!" He hung up rudely. I called back and spoke with his as...sistant, and she told me the same, "We don't have time for your concerns, I have 30 cases on my desk and have no time. Goodbye" and hung up rudely. They must be under great stress that they can not speak with concern. I would never use him as an attorney, don't care how good he is.

This attorney did SO much for me. Further, he is truly dedicated and went the extra mile to advise me of things to look out for that I had not even considered. He's a really excellent: knowledgeable, honest, engaged with your problems, diligent, and dedicated. He is so reasonably priced; doesn't try ...to gouge you. Office staff is great too. His referrals if you are out of the area are top notch too. He's a landlord's dream attorney. Goes right by the law and never engages in any malicious legal activities.
