FIGHTING FOR YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS
At the Law Offices of Michael C. Cohen, we focus our legal practice on the rights of renters and issues in the field of housing law. Each of our firm's tenants' rights attorneys only represent renters, and never landlords. We devote our practice to serving those who are taken advantage of by their landlord entities who are unconcerned with their welfare.
If you are facing a landlord/tenant matter of your own, such as difficulties with a landlord, HOA, or mobile home park management company, reach out to our team for experienced litigators who provide clients with the attention they deserve. If you choose to work with us, we will keep you informed of the progress of the case each step of the way.
Our firm also handles cases involving violations of civil rights and constitutional rights, civil harassment, restraining orders and discrimination. In addition we represent various housing related claims, cases and situations, including the following:
EVICTION & LOCK-OUT CASES
Our firm specializes in eviction and lock-out cases; our choice to exclusively represent tenants has increased the knowledge and understanding that we have in this area. We know how to represent you in your eviction case. The eviction process in Northern California can be intricate, and often landlords use illegal attempts to force you to move out without going to court because they are aware of the expenses and time involved with getting you out of the property.
This is why it is crucial to not only know your rights and what is involved in eviction, but also to seek out experienced counsel from a San Francisco Bay Area eviction lawyer from our firm. If you have been locked out of your property without a court order, you may be a victim of an unjust lock-out. The law is on your side. Let us help you defend your rights in your eviction or lock-out case.

LEAD POISONING
Lead poisoning causes devastating and life altering harm to young children. When a child is lead poisoned at a young age, that child’s potential for success is taken from them. A lead poisoned child who once had a bright and open future full of possibility will often struggle in school and life just to be average. That is why it is important to get your child the resources he or she needs to cope with the lifelong problems that result from childhood lead exposure.
The experienced lead poisoning attorneys at Law Offices of Michael C. Cohen can help you and your child get the financial resources you deserve. As leaders in lead poisoning litigation, the passionate lawyers at the Law Offices of Michael C. Cohen have taken on landlords, management companies, public housing authorities, government agencies, and others who failed to take the common sense steps necessary to prevent a young child from being harmed from lead. They understand the painful and often isolating struggle a child goes through in life after being lead poisoned, and fight hard to ensure that every child receives the financial resources needed to overcome this struggle.
A lead poisoning lawsuit is more complicated than a typical premises liability case. Lead interrupts the growth and development of a child’s brain, but the effects of lead poisoning are often not seen until years after the initial exposure and manifest in ways that are not readily apparent to someone who was unaware of the initial exposure. Symptoms of lead poisoning are similar to that of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (“ADHD”) and other learning disabilities. However, a child may exhibit strengths in certain subjects while struggling in others, leading parents and teachers to think the child is simply not trying.
The lead poisoning attorneys at Law Offices of Michael C. Cohen have the experience needed to tell the difference, and the knowledge and resources to communicate these differences to a jury. With over 25 years of experience fighting on behalf of children, our attorneys have won over millions in verdicts and settlements and know what it takes to build a winning lead poisoning case.
