Madeline focuses on representing tenants. Her practice is tenant-side, which means her work is dedicated to protecting renters’ rights and addressing unfair or unlawful landlord conduct.

Madeline handles a wide range of tenant matters, including harassment, unsafe or uninhabitable living conditions, wrongful evictions, retaliation, cash-for-keys agreements, security deposit disputes, rent control issues, and domestic violence-related lease terminations.

Many tenant issues become harder to resolve when action is delayed. A consultation can help you understand whether your rights are being violated and what options may be available before the situation escalates.

Initial consultations are often available to discuss your situation and determine the best next step. Fees depend on the nature and complexity of the issue, and Madeline explains pricing clearly before any work begins.

You work directly with Madeline. She handles communication personally so you always know who is working on your matter and where things stand.

Retaliation against tenants is illegal in many situations. Madeline can explain what qualifies as retaliation and help you take steps to protect yourself while asserting your rights.

Every case is different. Some matters resolve quickly through negotiation, while others require court involvement. Madeline will give you a realistic overview of timelines based on your specific situation.

Madeline primarily serves tenants in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, with a strong focus on local housing laws and tenant protections specific to the region.

If possible, it helps to have your lease, any written communications with your landlord, notices you’ve received, and photos or documentation related to the issue. If you don’t have everything, you can still reach out and discuss next steps.
