When they fail, tenants can suffer bites, disease exposure, property damage, and severe emotional distress. Learn more about your legal rights by speaking with a pest infestation lawyer.

The firm’s approach to resolving property injury cases involves several key steps:
We start with a no-cost, confidential review of your case. Tell us what happened, and our experienced Los Angeles personal injury lawyers will quickly determine if a property owner’s or landlord’s negligence caused your injury.
We handle everything: gathering maintenance records, repair requests, photos of the dangerous condition, medical bills, incident reports, and witness statements to build an ironclad case proving negligence and liability.
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 tenant 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.

Asbestos-related illnesses often develop years after exposure. We know how to investigate your history, identify responsible parties, and build a case even when the exposure happened long ago.
We work with medical experts and industrial hygienists to connect your diagnosis to the asbestos exposure in your home or building.
