What California Renters Say About Us

Joe and everyone at Tobener Ravenscroft Law were wonderful and helped me and my roommates get back owed rent from our landlord that wrongfully evicted us. They made the process as easy as it could be and helpful through the process.

David H. Oakland, CA

I was very impressed with Tobener Ravenscroft’s depth of knowledge as well as their creativity in problem solving. This is not to say that I’m actively looking forward to another issue requiring the help of an SF tenant lawyer – only that Tobener Ravenscroft is a fantastic teammate if one is dealing with the “Hunger Games” vibe of the Bay Housing landscape these days.

Michael C. San Francisco, CA

I’ve been working with Jacqueline Ravenscroft and it has been as good an experience as I can possibly imagine. Smart, caring, efficient, generous, sharp as a tack! In the midst of my landlord threatening me with various evictions scenarios and finally filing one of them, I have felt very panicky and freaked out – the only thing that calms me down is knowing that I have the BEST tenant lawyer possible and am totally covered legally with a badass attorney I know I can count on, who knows her stuff and has my back. HUGELY IMPORTANT STUFF.

DF Berkeley, CA

Jackie took over my case, and she was a pleasure to work with. I felt like I could completely trust her throughout the process and know that she would promote my best interests and give me sound advice. She was always honest with me about what was going on and what to expect. I felt confident with her by my side and the case did end in a favorable way for me. I would recommend them to any tenant who is having serious legal issues with a landlord (such as low-income unit violations and/or wrongful evictions).

Mary H. San Francisco, CA

Shortly after moving into a new place we had an encounter with our landlord which resulted in us needing to break our lease immediately for our safety. We knew we needed find a tenant lawyer and our choice of Tobener Ravenscroft was the best decision we made. Ms. Ravenscroft, was top notch and did not hesitate in helping us get clear of a bad situation fast. These guys are the best, I could not imagine working with any other tenant lawyers.

J.S. Marin County

I have been a lawyer for 24 years (mostly as a partner at fancy pants international firms), and Joe is one of the best lawyers I have come across. He did an amazing job for me and my family. Despite being a lawyer, I don’t like conflict and litigation/mediation, but Joe did a great job of nicely shepherding us through the process to a good outcome. Simply put, he is amazing.
