Inaccurate advice

The "game board" website says that you can file an Arrieta claim if the Prejudgment claim wasn't served or was served improperly. Unfortunately... if the landlord lies and says it was served and that box is checked on the writ, the Sheriff will REFUSE to accept the Arrieta claim, even if you have pro...of you couldn't have been served and the landlord is lying. The Sheriff violates your constitutional rights and makes that legal call without having the authority. Their attitude is that the "order" from the court alleges you were served and therefore they are not obligated to stop the eviction if you object.

Unfortunately, this person mistook the instructions as to how the LAW requires things to go as a GUARANTEE that the landlord would not lie, in order to win. There are legal means to correct this, but apparently this person did not have us pursue them, and just trusted the system.

Best decision

The landlord tried to be sneaky about filing a default. They knew exactly what to do And biology appropriate pape work to get the default removed.

An icon!

There’s that saying “ If you build it, they will come” In one of the most stressful times of my life, facing an eviction, I found Ken’s organization “Cal Tenant Law” like a lighthouse on a dark turbulent ocean and the most wonderful attorney, who has truly saved my life (Brittany Torbert). Ken is suc...h a superhero. The website, the videos, and the truly skilled attorneys he brings onto his team are just heaven sent. They’re the good guys and on your side. Thank you endlessly, Ken!

Ken's amazing associate Jeremy Cook is understanding, knowledgeable, professional and very powerful in his legal drafting. He is very shrap and strong with his legal points. I have tried several attorneys before Jeremy, all were good but Jeremy is exceptional. His client counseling and strategisin...g techniques are unmatched. What I like the most about him is his honesty If you have Jeremy as your attorney, your legal journey will be smoother.

Waste of money.. Lack of personal touch..

I recently worked with the firm on an eviction case. Unfortunately, the process was time-consuming and felt like a waste of money. I didn't receive any clear guidance, leaving me frustrated and uncertain. In hindsight, reading everything thoroughly might have helped, but I would recommend exploring a... different approach if you're crunched on time and funds. This method ended up being costly and not the best use of resources, it was paying to be my own attorney. If you need a self help approach the county has it.

For those who have never been in a lawsuit before, evictions can be a real eye-opener, and more expensive and time-consuming than expected. Filing a simple Answer gets a trial in a couple of weeks, where a sneaky landlord's lawyer, a lying landlord, and a biased judge might make the tenant homeless. For that, the legal fee is low, unless the tenant hires the lawyer to do the trial. If the goal is to maximize time in possession and reduce the amount owed, that only happens by filing papers that challenge mistakes, the cost of which is far less than the rent would have been. The county's help is just to draft the Answer, which may not be correct, but it's free. Under our system, the client controls the cost.
