Hi, I'm looking to consult with lawyers who deal with Ellis evictions in SanFrancisco/Oakland area.
Any recommendations? TIA!

The reason I decided to reach out to the BiggerPockets community was because of the absolute sh*tshow that working with the Bornstein team has been for me. Daniel Bornstein doesn't handle Ellis evictions, so he referred us to Jonathan Bornstein. Jonathan and his partner, Erika, have been the most incompetent and the worst attorneys I have ever worked with—absolutely horrible. There's so much I could say, but I'd just rather not relive it. Daniel needs to disassociate himself from Jonathan.

Hence, looking for alternative recommendations for my next projects.

Sorry to hear about your negative experience with Jonathan. I have never worked with him. 

As an alternative, take a look at KTS in Walnut Creek.  I have not used them for Ellis evictions but I would interview them if I needed help with an eviction.  https://www.kts-law.com/practice-areas/landlord-tenant-law/

Good luck!

I wanted to provide an update, in case it helps anyone. Jonathan and I reached an agreement that resolved the issue for me, and overall, I’m content with the outcome.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
