Welcome to the Brinton Firm
The Brinton firm specializes in representing tenants and renters across Los Angeles county.
We represent tenants across Southern California in any type of litigation involving tenant’s rights and landlord-tenant issues.
We don’t represent landlords, and we never charge upfront for our services.
Our experienced tenant attorneys can provide advice and help you take appropriate legal action against landlords who fail to maintain your rental home, refuse to make necessary repairs, allow the property to become infested with vermin, charge illegally high rents, or otherwise violate state and local tenancy laws.
Tell Us About Your Problems
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 pests, damage, or other dangers, and no landlord should ever allow renters to live in uninhabitable conditions.
Need Legal Help?
Our experienced tenant attorneys represent Southern California’s residential and commercial tenants in and out of court. If your landlord has broken the law, failed to maintain healthy conditions in your rental unit, or otherwise violated your rights to have safe and habitable housing, we are here to help.
Experts in Tenancy Law
The Brinton Firm’s tenants’ rights attorneys are passionate and fierce in their defense of your rights as a tenant. We are experienced in this area of the law and know how to navigate complex cases and win for our clients.
What our tenant lawyers specialize in
Poor Living Conditions / Habitability
If your apartment has unrepaired damage, a vermin infestation, or your electricity, plumbing or other utility services are not functioning properly, contact a tenant attorney at the Brinton Firm today and let us help.
Asbestos And Lead Paint
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 knowledgeable 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 Brinton Firm 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.
