Experienced and aggressive, the lawyers of Greenstein & McDonald P.C. are dedicated to tenant justice, having already helped more than 20,000 tenants. We are tenacious, savvy, and importantly, well- resourced in litigating cases for tenants. We treat each client with compassion and honest respect. Greenstein & McDonald P.C. has assisted tenants with eviction defense and other issues over the years, although our primary focus at this time involves suing landlords for the harm they cause to tenants. Claims may include: failure to provide a habitable/livable unit, retaliation, wrongful eviction, discrimination, harassment, fire cases, wrongful death, breach of contract, nuisance (includes mold/lead paint), interference with quiet use and enjoyment, fraud, personal injuries, violating rent ordinances, or any other violation of the law by a landlord. The vast majority of our cases are in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley.

Wrongful Death
Experienced and aggressive, the lawyers of Greenstein & McDonald P.C. are dedicated to tenant justice, having already helped more than 20,000 tenants. We are tenacious, savvy, and importantly, well- resourced in litigating cases for tenants. We treat each client with compassion and honest respect. Greenstein & McDonald P.C. has assisted tenants with eviction defense and other issues over the years, although our primary focus at this time involves suing landlords for the harm they cause to tenants. Claims may include: failure to provide a habitable/livable unit, retaliation, wrongful eviction, discrimination, harassment, fire cases, wrongful death, breach of contract, nuisance (includes mold/lead paint), interference with quiet use and enjoyment, fraud, personal injuries, violating rent ordinances, or any other violation of the law by a landlord. The vast majority of our cases are in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley.
Restraining Order
If any threats are made, even if they are veiled threats, make a police report. Keep a journal of each incident or interaction with your landlord. Each time there is an incident make a police report and send a letter to your landlord or the management company. Making a paper trail is really important, especially for future litigation should your landlord attempt to evict you or should you sue your landlord. If the harassment becomes so severe that it dramatically interferes with your quiet use and enjoyment of your home, then consider filing for a restraining order, which is an injunction to stop the landlords harassing conduct.

Sexual Harassment
If you believe you have been discriminated against, contact us immediately, especially considering that discrimination law is very complicated and in addition there is a one year statute of limitations under the Unruh Civil Rights Act and a two year statute of limitations under FEHA.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Kelli Shields is an attorney at Greenstein & McDonald and has been practicing law for over 11 years. She has been an essential part of securing verdicts, settlements, and success for our clients since she joined our firm in 2012. Her practice focuses on thoughtfully and aggressively litigating a variety of landlord-tenant disputes, solely representing tenants. Ms. Shields has successfully represented tenants in numerous affirmative civil actions including for wrongful eviction, habitability defects, retaliation, harassment, nuisance, and negligence.

Personal Injury
Most personal injury cases involve negligence claims against the landlord and their agents. In many cases in which there is a violation of a law (e.g. fire codes in a fire case), the claim could be for negligence per se and the burden of proof is much easier to meet.

Foreclosure
Since 2008, there have been a tremendous number of foreclosures and a large percentage of such foreclosures were done upon residential rental properties. A residential rental property is much more valuable to a bank or lender if the property is vacant because a new owner can then charge a high, market rent, therefore lenders will do everything in their power to clear a foreclosed property of the tenants. Many lenders will file meritless eviction actions in court which they dismiss if the tenant files the proper Answer (a tenant admits or denies each part of suit and raises any affirmative defenses) to the Complaint (the lawsuit). It is important for any tenant who fears being evicted or faces eviction to immediately seek legal advice.
