Alex helped negotiate a settlement with my landlord over inhabitable conditions. My landlord had hired one of the top attorneys known for playing hardball. Alex was always kind and patient with me as I went through the year-long emotional roller coaster. He was transparent with the reasoning behind his advice, so I felt better empowered to make my decisions. Alex's skills ended up getting me (I kid you not) 10 times the settlement than the landlord had originally offered. Changed my life for the better. Thank you!

I was in a bad rental situation where I was getting little to no sleep because of disruptive upstairs neighbors. It was awful and my landlords did little to help the situation. My case turned out to be more complicated and detailed but because of Alex's expertise, perseverance, kindness, and understanding the whole process was more bearable. There were a couple times I was ready to throw in the towel because the other lawyer was making so many demands. I am happy to say I stuck it out--thanks to Alex. I couldn't have done it without Alex's support, insight, and knowledge. Alex is thorough and on top of matters. I recommend Alex Merchant highly to anyone dealing with rental/tenant/housing issues. He is knowledgeable and transparent. Alex is great to have on your side. He is awesome! And, the case turned out great for me and my daughter!

Alex was of great help and support in my unlawful detainer case. My master tenant/landlord had hired a high profile lawyer to evict me. I needed someone very aggressive and charismatic to have a chance to prevail. Alex and Tom Elke were always very prompt to answer my questions. They both attended the settlement conference to great results. I was able to keep my accommodation for two more months and was compensated beyond my expectation. Also my case was successfully resealed with no future penalty. I highly recommend Alex Merchant and his partner Tom Elke. They are very professional, knowledgeable and honest.
