Wolford Wayne LLP - San Francisco, California

I had an incredible experience working with Wolford Wayne. They helped me navigate a tough situation with an illegal apartment, making sure I understood my rights every step of the way. Their expertise and advice led to a great buyout agreement, far better than I expected. The team was professional, very responsive, and truly had my best interests in mind. If you’re dealing with a landlord dispute or tenant rights issue, I highly recommend sending them a message.

We are so grateful to Daniel for all his guidance and expertise! He really fought for us and got us a big sum of money in our buyout agreement. Everyone at Wolford and Wayne was super personable, easy to work with, and prompt with communication. They are both genuinely real people and also very professional, which is a combination I appreciate a lot! I can't recommend them highly enough.

Daniel was very helpful with answering a series of questions I had about the situation I have with my landlord harassing me. We are also going through an extensive renovation of our building. He was incredibly knowledgeable about tenant rights. He made suggestions about my options. I will use Daniel if my situation continues. I highly recommend working with this attorney if you are having issues related to landlord harassment that you are dealing with.

If you are looking for one of the best tenant lawyers, look no further. Daniel is the one for you. Thank you Daniel and team!

One day in my mail I found a letter from my landlords attorney telling me my landlord had filed a petition with the San Francisco Rent Board to raise our rent. My roommate and I immediately went to the Tenants Union for counseling. We met Jason Wolford who told us we had a good case, but should hire an attorney to represent us at the hearing. Jason provided us with a fairly long lists of attorney. We reviewed the list and determined that Wolford Wayne was the best fit for our situation.

Megan Johnson, an associate at Wolford Wayne, was the person Jason recommended. Megan represented tenants in buyout negotiations, affirmative wrongful eviction cases and Rent Board cases. We met with Megan in person and we were impressed with her knowledge of our case. Megan felt our landlord’s case was weak and once they saw the rebuttal she would submit to the Rent Board they may withdraw the Petition to raise our rent. She clearly explained to us what information we needed to provide her to do her best in defending us at the Rent Board hearing. For various reasons that we do not understand and were out of our control the Rent Board took 6 months to schedule our hearing. During this time Megan was in touch with both us and the rent board working to facilitate a speedy hearing and to discuss with us the various documents the landlord provided as evidence why our rent should be raised.

In the end, the landlord withdrew their petition to raise our rent 3 days before the scheduled Rent Board hearing. This was frustrating, but all is well that ends well. Thanks to Megan Johnson we are now prepared to document our comings and goings and other information the landlord would twist to try and prove that we no longer lived in our apartment.

All around we could not ask for a more knowledgeable, goal oriented attorney who communicated with us in a timely manner in a way we could always understand. Megan was perfect! There is nothing I would ask her to do differently and without hesitation I would recommend her to anyone having the unfortunate experience of having to deal with the San Francisco Rent Board.

I don't think there's enough words to express how grateful my wife and I are for Daniel Wayne, Piper Wheeler, and the staff at Wolford Wayne. They made the lawsuit process a lot less painful with their extensive knowledge of SF real estate law and tenant's rights while bringing kindness and humor to the table. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Daniel Wayne is a fantastic attorney. I reached out to Wolford Wayne because I was having recurring problems with my apartment building. Daniel took the time to explain my options and lead me toward the best path forward. The entire time, he was kind and professional. He gave me actionable advice that led to a good outcome. I would highly recommend him and his team for any help with tenants rights issues.

I had a great consultation with Piper Wheeler from Wolford Wayne about issues that I was having with my tenancy. In addition to offering me some excellent advice, she was also a great listener. I felt like she really understood the issue I was having, and that I could reach out to her again should my situation get more complicated. I left the meeting with a better understanding of next steps that I should take.
