Illegal eviction and tenant rights

Jason Wolford is an excellent attorney. He gives straight-up advice, even if that advice may not be what you want to hear. He runs a fine, lean operation, and is very reasonable about fees and costs. I never found his cash register ringing gratuitously, and valued his personal integrity as much as t...he honesty of his case-related opinions. He won every legal challenge the opponent presented. It is clear to me that Jason Wolford knows his business. After enduring insulting settlement offers from our opponent, I trusted his judgment when he came with the last one and told us that it was good. The amount was twice as much as we originally expected. I think Jason Wolford is the best attorney in the city, especially when it comes to the San Francisco rent ordinance. He's a great advocate and practitioner of the law .

Articulate, logical and outstanding lawyer

I highly recommend Jason as one of the top lawyers in the Bay Area, in his field. He is exceptional at landlord/tenant disputes and extremely articulate in seeing the bigger picture. My case was unusual & bizarre, yet with Jason’s experience and negotiating skills, it was resolved above and beyond my... expectations. He’s a really good egg, honest and created sanity in an insane situation I was fighting!
