WRONGFUL EVICTION
ALATORRE & ASSOCIATES is dedicated to advocating for the rights of residential and commercial tenants facing eviction (unlawful detainer) lawsuits or who have been illegally locked out of their rental unit without court process.
Our firm provides comprehensive legal representation to tenants in these challenging situations. We understand the complexities of landlord-tenant law and are committed to protecting the rights of individuals and families facing the threat of displacement.
PREMISES LIABILITY
ALATORRE & ASSOCIATES represents tenants in premises liability claims against property owners for injuries caused by dangerous conditions on their property, such as slip and falls, inadequate security, or structural defects.
We understand that property owners and their insurance companies often try to minimize or deny legitimate claims, leaving injured tenants to face mounting medical bills and lost wages alone. Our experienced legal team will aggressively pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and damages, handling every aspect of your case from investigation through trial so you can focus on recovery.
UNLAWFUL DETAINER
RESIDENTIAL + COMMERCIAL
Facing an eviction can be one of the most stressful experiences for any tenant or business owner. ALATORRE & ASSOCIATES provides aggressive defense representation for both residential and commercial tenants in unlawful detainer proceedings throughout California. We understand that landlords and their attorneys often rely on tenants' lack of legal knowledge to push through wrongful evictions or violate tenant protection laws.
Whether you're facing eviction due to alleged non-payment of rent, lease violations, or no-fault terminations, we fight to keep you in your home or business location while pursuing all available defenses and counterclaims.
SLUM HOUSING
Slum and negligent landlords often target and exploit vulnerable, low-income tenants by disregarding their basic needs in the name of maximizing their own profits. These landlords allow their rental properties to severely deteriorate, forcing tenants to endure substandard, hazardous, and sometimes unsanitary living conditions in violation of California law.
ALATORRE & ASSOCIATES is committed to holding greedy slum-landlords accountable by taking them to court and forcing them to compensate tenants who have been forced to live with inhumane conditions.
CIVIL RIGHTS DISCRIMINATION + SEXUAL HARASSMENT
ALATORRE & ASSOCIATES is dedicated to advocating for the rights of residential tenants facing all types of civil and housing rights discrimination cases. Whether the discrimination or harassment stems from a landlord's intentional acts, or from their ignorance of the laws that protect certain classes of tenants—like failing to grant a reasonable accommodation to a disabled tenant or harassment based on a tenant's lifestyle, family status, or gender/sexual orientation.
ALATORRE & ASSOCIATES advocates aggressively for its clients. We sue landlords who have engaged in either intentional or negligent discrimination and harassment and seek substantial monetary awards to compensate tenants who have been forced to endure such discrimination.
TITLE DISPUTES
ALATORRE & ASSOCIATES advocates for individuals and business owners in title disputes. Property co-ownership disputes often arise from life changes such as divorce, death of a co-owner, business dissolution, or simply disagreements over the property's use, maintenance, or sale. Our firm handles partition actions to force the sale or physical division of property, quiet title actions to resolve ownership disputes, and accounting actions to ensure fair distribution of rental income and expenses.
We understand that these cases involve more than just legal technicalities—they often represent years of financial investment, emotional attachments, and family relationships. Our experienced team conducts thorough property valuations, investigates contribution histories, and aggressively litigates to ensure our clients receive their rightful share of the property's value.
