OUR PHILOSOPHY
At the Brinton Firm, we believe that tenants should have safe, habitable, and livable homes. All renters have the right to a home or a business with no mold, rats, roaches, or bedbugs, and no landlord should ever allow renters to live in substandard conditions. When these issues exist, we are ready to take action on the tenants’ behalf. We don’t represent landlords, and we never charge upfront for our services.

WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN
Poor Living Conditions / Habitability
ASBESTOS AND LEAD PAINT
When asbestos or lead paint is disturbed — for example, by construction workers or maintenance teams–the result can be catastrophic.
Asbestos or lead paint debris can contaminate your personal belongings and make you ill, both now and for many years afterwards. A significant remediation process is often necessary and must begin as soon as possible.
If you’ve been exposed to lead or asbestos in your rental property, consider litigation as part of your strategy for dealing with the problem. Talk to a tenant lawyer right away for help understanding your rights and your options.
INJURIES ON PREMISES
Personal injury claims might seem complicated or overwhelming, especially when you’re facing medical costs and a painful injury. That’s why having a top rated attorney on your side is important!
If you’ve injured yourself on another person’s property due to their negligence in maintaining their property, a lawyer can help determine if you have a case against the property owner.
ILLEGAL OR DANGEROUS UNITS
Throughout LA County, many landlords decide to “create” their own apartment units, live-work spaces, or other residential dwellings by illegally converting warehouses, garages, or office space into housing. Illegal units are usually built without permits or any government inspection whatsoever, so they represent a significant danger to the tenant.
Under these circumstances, the landlord generally has no legal right to collect rent. Additionally, the City or County of Los Angeles may red-tag the building, thus forcing all the tenants to move out on short notice. Starting litigation now can help you prevent a nightmare in the future.
If you believe you are living in an illegal unit, you deserve representation and a clear understanding of your rights. Talk to a tenant lawyer at the Brinton Firm today.
