Stopping Eviction

In San Francisco, there are 14 grounds for a landlord to evict a tenant from a rent controlled apartment or flat. Landlords know them all, and sometimes they stretch the law or break it in order to free up an apartment and raise the rent. James Coy Driscoll has more than 15 years of experience protecting tenants from evictions. We use the law to protect the rights and homes of our clients.

In numerous cases, we have stopped evictions and illegal landlord practices. Even when a landlord's eviction attempt appears to comply with the law, our assertive defense of a client's interests can result in a significant cash settlement for the tenant.  There is no guarantee as to your results.  You should hire a skillful attorney to represent your interests in any settlement discussions.

The Law Offices of James Coy Driscoll will represent you aggressively and vigorously because we know that your home and future is at stake. You just need to hire us, and we will go to work for you.
