Tobener Ravenscroft - San Francisco Tenant Lawyers - San Francisco, California

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Truly On Our Side

Our experience with Tobener Ravenscroft was outstanding from start to finish. They took the time to fully understand the complexity of our case, which involved both tenant rights and construction-related issues. Their legal team demonstrated not only a deep knowledge of California tenant law, but also a firm grasp of construction-related nuances that other attorneys we spoke to didn’t seem to fully comprehend.

What stood out most was their ability to explain our rights clearly and to advocate for a fair and equitable resolution. Throughout the process, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, we reached a resolution that felt just and well-deserved.

I was having issues with a neighbor, however my situation was not severe enough where Tobener Ravenscroft could take me on as a client. Christina Collins set up a free 20 minute call with me and gave me some advice with how to approach my landlord and property manager. My situation greatly improved and I attribute much of it to Christina (and the SF Tenant's Union!). Christina was kind, understanding, and knowledgeable.

Tobener Ravenscroft law firm represented me and my wife regarding an unlawful eviction in San Francisco. Joseph Tobener represented us and was able to not only avoid an eviction but acquired a financial settlement to move out.
Joseph & his law firm has their clients back even in the most difficult situations. They have compassion during the most stressful Tenant/owner conflicts and go the extra mile to for a satisfactory outcome. This is the law firm you want to be represented by. 5-star rating in my opinion is too low. Tobener Ravenscroft attorneys should be commended for the services they provide to renters.

“I cannot recommend Joseph Tobener and his team highly enough! Joseph represented me in an extremely stressful wrongful eviction case and exceeded all of my expectations. From the very beginning, Joseph listened carefully to my concerns and respected my wish to pursue an out-of-court settlement with my elderly landlord whom I was reluctant to take to court. He excelled at the drawn out negotiations that ensued and delivered a well crafted agreement with my landlord that addressed my priorities.

One of the things I most appreciated about working with Joseph was his impressive communication skills. He was always a straight shooter and swift to respond to my emails, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. His grasp of the complexities of tenant rights, strategic approach, and responsiveness were enormously grounding.

As the tenant of a rent-controlled apartment for 30 years without significant financial resources to devote to protecting my rights, I was equally gratified that Joseph was willing to take my case on contingency, which made pursuing justice accessible during such a stressful time.

If you are facing a wrongful eviction or any tenant rights issue, Joseph Tobener is the lawyer you want on your side.”

I recently worked with Julia Wobbe, a Senior Attorney At Tobener Law and I cant say enough what a wonderful attorney she is. She is so helpful, thorough, on the ball and achieved our dream outcome. Thank you Julia!

Attorney Julie Wobbe and paralegal Elizabeth Fuentes helped to successfully settle a distressing constructive eviction claim against a S.F. landlord. It took nearly two years but some of the delay was due to the respondents who sough to delay the process as much as possible. The Tobener Ravenscroft team were professional, responsive, took time to listen, clarify and communicate with me and my co-plaintiff in our joint suit. Their engagement process was straight forward and they displayed the right amount of patience, empathy and bite when it was appropriate to move the case forward. I would recommend them for anyone who is a tenant who is seeking a reputatable, approachable and reasonable law firm to represent them. And I am an attorney myself who received a recommendation from a fellow attorney who assured me the firm was a good one to work with - and she was correct!

Having to be forced to move out of a unit that I had rented for almost ten years by a landlord who simply wanted me out for their own selfish personal agenda and financial gain, I was literally left homeless, helpless, highly stressed and distraught. I felt that I was blatantly taken advantage of in multiple ways and played for a fool. I thought that I was placed in a bad situation that I would just have to accept and live with. I later found out that I was fraudulently coerced into moving out without any true merits or any type of positive support from that landlord. I was left with a lot of questions of what was done to me and how this could even be acceptable. I needed answers and I needed help. Fortunately, I was blessed to have discovered the law firm of Tobener Ravenscroft. From the initial response I got from an inquiring email I sent them on the subject matter, to the assessment and consultation with their paralegals and lawyers who were able to breakdown and explain the legalities of offenses that were committed by my landlord, all the way through the processes of mediation and settlement, with Joe Tobener and Amardeep Bains at the helm, I was able to find the answers to all these questions I had and also get the rightful and just closure that I needed. Joe and Amardeep were very honest, professional and sincere. They always made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout. They are highly experienced and very knowledgeable in these types of cases and were able to help me understand everything through simple conversations. The one thing that really stood out to me the most was their unwavering support for me. I truly believe that from the moment they heard my story of what had happened to me, they believed in me 100% and would stand with me through the end. Thank you Joe and Amardeep for believing in me! Without question, I would absolutely recommend Joe, Amardeep, and the team of Tobener Ravenscroft for any tenant representation.
