Professional and Effective Landlord/Tenant Attorney

Marc is an extremely professional and effective attorney. He recently negotiated a settlement in an Owner Move-In displacement for our household (single family residence w/ multiple tenants). Marc explained the process and underlying law clearly and effortlessly crafted an agreement that protected ou...r interests as tenants. I recommend his services without qualification.

Successfuly removed a "Pacific Height Movie" tenant

Marc successfully evicted a tenant that my husband and I had helped out during hard times and rented him a room. That temporary turned out to be 7 years. When we asked him to move and help him financially he refused and used every legal blockade against us and attempted to obtain $60,000 from us, Th...en by chance I found Marc on The Bar Association of San Francisco website and made a consultation appointment for my husband and I. What good fortune it was that we found Marc. At first he did not think we would prevail in evicting this tenant, but Marc persevered and anticipated every angle this tenant had up his sleeve. He obtained a 2 year permanent restraining order against this tenant who had become violent and was unstable. Marc then set down every legal process to evict this tenant and succeeded. The nightmare ended last month May. My husband was dying of terminal liver failure and passed away recently. Marc gave my husband and I back our peaceful home life. He was so caring and compassionate to my Husband. His tenacity and legal expertise in this area was a Godsend to us. Thank you Marc and to your legal team.

Trustworthy

Marc Branco is an exceptional resource for Renters in protection of their rights as tenants. Marc is that rare lawyer, who is accessible, genuinely cares about justice, quickly discerns what is essential, then finds the best solution. My roommate and I were served a 60-day notice to vacate our hom...e. I talked to a few lawyers regarding this notice but Marc was the only one that gave me pro-active advice. The other lawyers I talked to said I should wait until I was served an Unlawful Detainer, then sue my landlord for unlawful eviction. I didn’t want to move, I wanted to stay in my home. When I spoke to Marc he suggested sending my landlord a letter, and advised me that an Unlawful Detainer would stay on my record permanently even if I won. None of the other lawyers even mentioned this to me, as a long time renter I can’t afford to have something like that on my record. Marc sent my landlord a letter advising him of my rights as a tenant and the consequences of violating those rights. After receiving this letter my landlord never said another word about me having to move. Since then my landlord decided to sell the property. One day I came home to find a business card from a Realtor, when I called he informed me that the property was going up for sale. The Realtor tried bullying my roommate and I to show the property with no notice, or verification from our landlord. Once again Marc sent both the realtor and my landlord a letter stating my rights as a tenant while the property is being sold. Since the letter both realtor and landlord started obeying the law. I would use Marc again if I had any problems. I felt taken care of and felt like I was being protected. It felt good having him on my side.
