Lawyers that focus mostly on representing the rights of tenants rather than property owners

While many lawyers are “general practitioners,” some choose to become experts in a chosen field such as landlord-tenant law with a focus on tenant rights. A lawyer who has significant expertise in real estate or landlord-tenant law can help resolve your dispute either through negotiation or litigation.

People often have the impression that lawyers are expensive, but this is not always the case. A short consultation with a lawyer with extensive landlord-tenant law experience can help you understand your specific options and save you time and money.
