Berkeley landlord-tenant law can be very difficult to navigate on your own, having a lawyer that practices this type of law can save you a lot of the stress that you will experience when you try to navigate the law on your own. The right attorney can provide you with the answers that you need and help you to file the motions and documents that need to be filed to get you the outcome that you hope for.
Berkeley landlord-tenant law can be used to help protect your rights as a tenant but half the battle of using those rights is knowing what you have to do to invoke them. An attorney can help! When you set up an appointment to meet with an attorney there are some key questions you should ask, most of the questions that you have will be unique to your situation but some will be general questions that impact every case. Consider these questions as your talking points:
- How much will the fees be to handle my matter?
- How long will it take approximately to settle the matter?
- What recourse do I have in this matter?
- How much experience do you have in this matter?
- When can you start working on my case?
- Are there any special steps I can take that will improve my outcome?
- How will the outcome affect my ability to secure new housing if I need to?
The right attorney will patiently be willing to answer your questions. You should walk out of the office or hang up the phone feeling confident that the attorney has the knowledge base and the skills to adequately help you to protect your rights as a tenant. Of course the key is to choose an attorney that has the specific experience and skill set that you need. Elke & Merchant LLP is that law firm!
