Christopher Aaron Dewys

I retained Chris for two landlord/tenant issues (as a tenant). He promptly resolved my first case - an issue where I have a service animal and landlord tried to change terms of my lease to not allow my ESA. My second case was an Ellis Act eviction and effectively assisted with an eligible extension for the move out date, and professionally guided me through the rest of the process. He always seemed genuinely concerned that my legal rights were respected. He followed through every step of the way. I would never hesitate to contact Chris and Danfoura Law for my legal needs.

Chris served in an advisory capacity as we negotiated a buyout agreement with our landlord. His background in landlord/tenant issues and his wise counsel proved invaluable as we tried to understand the nuances of our situation, and his perspective on when to be aggressive vs. when to recognize a fair offer helped us come up with a creative agreement that has worked out well for us!

I hired Chris to handle a very ticklish rent increase on a couple of houses I own in San Francisco. A landlord in San Francisco best be a Lawyer or hire a damn good one. I don't even dare to go into detail but Chris got things handled so incredibly well I figure he saved me $100k easily. Tenants moved rather than pay market rent which did not hurt my feelings at all. I'll take the opportunity to sell out and invest my money where I might have a couple of rights.

Chris is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with. He was knowledgable, honest, and very easy to communicate with. My situation was one of thee most embarrassing experiences of my life. Members of an adult website forum had written the most degrading comments about me. New comments would be written and the website would link all the comments from the past with the new comment to make it one large awful read. The website had ignored my complaints for over 2 years. Chris was able to take care of the matter with one Cease and Desist Letter. Within 2 business days the adult website deleted the awful posts. Chris is very honest and politely upfront about matters. He was very patient and non judgmental, which was very important to me given the derogatory nature of comments that I had wanted removed. Moreover, most lawyers tend to establish an immediate power difference where they in some way remind you that they are of the higher status and you are a mere layperson. But Chris is the opposite. He gives the impression that you are both working in harmony for the same goal so there is a constant feeling of mutual respect. He'll never leave you feeling "less than". Before I forget, let me say his fees are reasonable and more than fair, especially for an attorney in San Francisco. I live about 300 miles south in a modest town and I thought his fees were within reason. I highly recommend Chris Dewys for your legal troubles. If and when I ever need an attorney I will be sure to contact Chris and trust him with the matter.
