Mr.

Jason represented my wife and I in a landlord tenant dispute. He guided us through the process in preparations for filing the complaint. The timing of events was critical and Jason was outstanding in his methods. He handled the negotiations in expert fashion which resulted in a successful monetary re...solution. I highly recommend Jason Wolford for landlord tenant representation.

Professional/Great Attorney

Jason handled my owner move-in eviction with great professionalism. His strategies were to be commended as the owner rescinded the eviction. I also love the fact that he gives back to the tenant community by volunteering a lot of his personal time. As everyone knows there are many attorneys out th...ere that are left to be desired and then there are good attorneys such as Jason. I highly recommend him.

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Jason Wolford! I found myself in a difficult and frightening conflict with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, ...many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others. I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably. If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

Jason Wolford fights the good fight!

I highly recommend Jason for his expertise, due diligence and knowledge of Law. In true time of need Jason took control and made a nightmare situation more managae ending with a victory. I call upon Jason's expertise as needed and he always without fail returns my calls with effective solutions.

Tough Attorney Wins Big & Gives to Community

Jason recently obtained a substantial settlement for me in a wrongful injury lawsuit against my landlord in San Francisco. His professionalism, knowledge of the law, and tenacity won against professional litigators and claims adjustors representing a major insurance company and other attorneys repres...enting the owner. His common sense strategy advice and good working relationship with SF City departments, judges and mediators certainly helped to maximize my settlement. I highly recommend Jason for any case involving serious injury and landlord negligence. Also, I note that I met Jason at a San Francisco Tenants Union meeting where he donates his time generously. He wins big and gives back to the Community.
