New investor needs lawyer recommendation for nuanced case
I am a new investor with a multi-unit property in a Los Angeles rent controlled building with a tenant that has come with a lot of challenges and has recently escalated to preventing me from doing an inspection.
My seller recommended a law firm that turned out to be a mill that makes their money on doing a large volume of straightforward eviction cases. The firm was happy to keep charging me but didn't really spend the time to understand my case and provide actual directional guidance.
After 5 months of paying this law firm and getting the runaround, I had to cut my losses and am looking for a good lawyer in LA who takes on more challenging and nuanced cases (not just rent nonpayments).
