My landlord was putting me through hell .. Harassing, disrespecting, discriminating against me and etc.. all because he wanted me to move out ! Nowadays it doesn’t matter , you can be the best tenant paying all your bill and not causing any problems and landlords would still try and put you out !! I got help from a Lawyer there his name was Anthony Kershaw. He not only won my case for me but he made sure that my kids and I were going to be good and I’m sure my landlord would think twice before trying to falsely evict me again ! I want to thank him still because it’s been a year and a half now and my landlord and I have been on the best of terms 🙂

02/23/24: I just called at 11:57 AM this phone number of this location. The young lady was very nice however the only number that she could give me was from the Bar Association and when I called the Bar association this young lady was very rude telling me she can not helped me.
My question is what is : What is The Bar Association good for? 👎👎

From the security station at the entrance to the building, to the receptionists, to the large seat comfy waiting room, to the intake, every single aspect of my experience was pleasant. All staff was courteous and professional and I am very grateful for the opportunity to meet them. They really believe in "going the extra mile" in order to complete the process. I look forward to my next appointment the staff and feel confident that my needs will be met with sincerity and with my best interest at heart.

I'm only giving this one star because zero isn't an option. You're better off representing yourself before using this firm. One of their employees wished death upon me online and their directors haven't taken any action despite multiple reports.

The building is in need of repairs and updating. The heating was not working and ceiling was leaking water.

They were no help. I went to see if an attorney could put some fire under the feet of a company who did not want to solve a simple issue. Seemed like the attorney did not know what the hell he was doing. I guess because he was old. Zero sense of urgency or care for what was important to me. I ended up going further without his lack of help. Complete waste of my time and huge disappointment. Money talks and money will get you attorneys that are proactive and energetic. Free or low cost will get you trash. You what you pay for (or don't pay for).

Useless. I called for some actually help and the lady acts like I’m bothering her. How can you tell someone to just keep calling them. What do you think I have been doing for years. Everybody claims that they are here to help you until you actually need them, then they don’t want work.
