Greg came through..

My family and I were in an extremely difficult and stressful situation with our landlord which involved our children. Difficult to the point where we had exhausted all options. Luckily, we happened to call Greg Brod first for consultation and ended up hiring him. Greg completely related to our ...situation and proved to be a great lawyer and a great guy. He went full on for us and we are more than happy with the outcome of our case. He's the best because he believes in what he does. Call him before you call anyone else.

Need a lawyer? Greg Brod is your guy...

Recently I had the need to hire an attorney. My daughter introduced me to her lawyer, Greg Brod of the Brod Law Firm on Jessie St. in San Francisco. I am somewhat intimidated by lawyers, however when I met Greg I was immediately at ease. He was compassionate, knowledgeable and extremely easy to talk ...to. He handled my case professionally and most successfully. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, I would refer anyone to him. Way to go Greg, you are a true professional. Annette P.

Greg Brod Law Firm

Our family had a problem with bedbugs in our apartment and a landlord who was blaming us and trying to get us to pay for the exterminators. It is difficult for anyone who has not had bedbugs to imagine the extent to which this problem negatively effects every aspect of your life. I contacted Greg Bro...d, and he was there for us. He listened to our problems and advised us on the legal issues, thereby saving us thousands of dollars. In addition, we were compensated for our damages, which were substantial. I would recommend Greg wholeheartedly. He and the members of his staff are caring professionals. Having this behind us is such a relief. Thank you all at the Brod Law Firm.

Trustworthy, skilled, fiercely determined.

We were involved in a traumatic landlord situation and weren't sure where to turn for help. After we were literally forced to flee the rental property in fear, a trusted attorney friend recommended Greg Brod. When I looked at Greg's website and saw that he was a personal injury lawyer, I question...ed how he could adequately help us with a landlord problem. But it became clear in our first meeting that he was our guy. Greg was extremely knowledgeable in and could clearly explain how the California and San Francisco rent ordinances (and associated case law) pertained to our case. But more importantly it was immediately evident that he was a trustworthy guy who truly cared about us and what we had gone through (unlike other lawyers I had contacted who talked fees first, possible action later). Greg handled our case with a laser-focused determination to right the wrongs we had been forced to endure. Greg worked his ass off for well over a year, skillfully fighting for everything we were due in compensation and leading us to a fair settlement. Throughout the entire process, we were in constant communication, with Greg always putting our needs first and deferring to our wishes. Though we'll never get back those six months of hell living under the filth-encrusted boot of a scumlord bully, we won a happy outcome--and a good friend. We would highly recommend your talking to him if you've been hurt in any regard, even if you think your case does not fall under the purview of a personal injury attorney.

Fantastic Outcome - Incredible Lawyer

We lived under the thumb of a frightening landlord - it was an unbearable situation and I'm thankful that it's behind us now. Greg not only got us the outcome we wanted, but he accomplished it while taking away much of the stress that accompanies a lawsuit. While my husband was pleased with Greg's... determination to fight for us, I was put at ease with Greg's ability to do this while taking my fragile emotional state into account. We worked closely with Greg throughout the entirety of our case and I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again, for any reason.
