Without this organization I wouldnt nor would have the confidence to file a small claims lawsuit against my fathers former landlord for illegally withholding his security deposit after moving out. Call them at the time they open their phone lines because they fill up really fast

I received legal advice legal guidance legal letters to help me through an unfortunate situation with my current landlordagent who tried to evict me violate my tenants privacy. It was such an unnecessary situation. Im glade its almost over. I never thought I would be in this situation. The only reason why I put four stars is because it would have been easier for me too go into the office at BALA. Thank you Bay Area Legal Team For your help Audrey

Rude disrespectful personal lied to me via phone. Told me there are no services for my tenant rights issue regarding landlord denying my request for accommodation to use my medical equipment under ground electrical does not provide adequate service he refuses to fix and keep it up to code by law.tShe told me theres only resources for eviction services. Not worth 1 star.

I left my contact information as it instruct people to do and someone will contact you back in 2 hours but it never the less happened for that matter its been days. I had others to call as well but no one ever answers or return calls back sadly we had a urgent matter and needed legal advice and or assistance especially during this pandemic with the covid 19. Timely manner is necessary when limiting to places to go with very little to no resources and have to wait days is just not relevant.
