We focus on serious injuries and losses caused by unsafe homes and buildings. Explore the types of cases we handle below.
The Brinton Firm is not a general-practice law firm. We focus specifically on serious injuries, illness, displacement, and major losses caused by unsafe homes and buildings. That focus allows us to build deeper expertise, pursue stronger outcomes, and deliver more meaningful results for our clients.
If you have been seriously harmed by dangerous property conditions, you deserve a legal team that understands the full scope of what you’ve been through — and what it will take to make you whole.

Tenant-side representation — we never represent landlords or insurance companies
Unless we win — you pay nothing upfront, ever
With over $51 million recovered for California tenants, our results speak for themselves. We have secured significant outcomes in cases involving toxic exposure, wrongful eviction, harassment, and serious injury.
Armed with strong evidence, we negotiate aggressively with the property owner, management company, insurer, and all responsible parties to secure a fair settlement that covers your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
If they refuse to offer a fair amount, our trial-tested property injury lawyers are fully prepared to file suit and fight for you in Los Angeles County court. We’ve taken on the biggest landlords and won.

After the mold exposure made my kids sick, The Brinton Firm took our case seriously from day one. They fought hard and helped us move into a safe home.
When a fire damaged our apartment and management ignored us, The Brinton Firm stepped in immediately. Their support changed everything.
For months my landlord refused to repair dangerous conditions. This firm held them accountable and helped me feel safe again.
Have a question about whether your situation fits one of our practice areas? Here are answers to the questions we hear most often. If you don’t see your question here, call us or start a free case review — we’re happy to talk through your situation.
We represent tenants in a wide range of cases involving landlord misconduct and unsafe living conditions. This includes wrongful eviction, landlord harassment, utility shutoffs, toxic mold, lead exposure, carbon monoxide, pest infestations, structural hazards, slip and fall injuries, and violations of Los Angeles rent control and tenant protection ordinances. If you have been harmed in your rental home, we want to hear from you.
Our results include both settlements and court judgments. A settlement is a negotiated resolution reached between the parties, often before or during trial. A judgment is an order entered by a court after litigation. Both represent real recoveries for our clients. The type of outcome depends on the facts of the case, the landlord’s willingness to negotiate, and our strategic assessment of the best path forward for you.
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront fees, no retainers, and no out-of-pocket costs during the case. Our fee is a percentage of the amount we recover for you. If we do not win, you owe us nothing. We believe every tenant deserves access to quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
You can still pursue a claim even if you are still living in the unit. In fact, documenting ongoing unsafe conditions while you remain in the property can strengthen your case. Contact us for a free consultation — we can advise you on your options without requiring you to move out first.
If you were injured, forced from your home, or suffered significant losses because a property was unsafe, don’t wait. Call The Brinton Firm today. We’ll listen to your story, explain your options, and help you pursue recovery for what you’ve lost — at no upfront cost to you.
