SAN FRANCISCO TENANT LAWYERS
Welcome to the online law office of Crow & Rose. Dave Crow is a uniquely prepared, experienced tenant rights lawyer. I am an advocate for our clients on the full range of legal issues facing tenants, consumers and others in San Francisco, California.
Tenant Law
We are best known for an aggressive tenant rights law practice — which focuses solely on the representation of tenants — the Crow & Rose law firm has years of experience defending unlawful detainer (eviction) actions. We will represent you when you sue your landlord for breach of the warranty of habitability, harassment and owner-move-in (OMI) wrongful eviction. We help tenants negotiate tenant buyouts with their landlords, but only after a complete analysis of applicable landlord tenant law and discussion of a tenant’s options.
If you are a tenant and have a problem with your landlord, need eviction help, want to sue, or just want to stand up for your tenants rights call us.
Crow & Rose represents commercial tenants.
We will not represent a landlord seeking to evict a tenant, nor will we represent a master tenant evicting roommates.
Civil Litigation
We are dedicated to providing creative and cost-effective representation to help our clients successfully resolve litigation and other legal disputes. Crow & Rose offers experience in a broad range of civil litigation matters, including business litigation, real estate litigation, and alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and arbitration. Crow & Rose also offers comprehensive legal services including creative problem solving, counseling, advocacy, and successful appellate work. If you need to appeal a decision, call us for a free consultation. Offices conveniently located in downtown San Francisco at the Montgomery MUNI/BART station. Contact Dave Crow at (415) 552-9060 or complete the form on our Contact the Tenant Lawyers page. We accept credit cards—American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
