I contacted TKVA Law with an inquiry about a landlord-tenant dispute. I worked with Kelly Van Aken, who listened closely to my case, made sure she understood all the facts and my objectives, and then thoroughly explained the relevant laws. Kelly offered a free 15-minute phone consultation to understand the basics of my complaint, conducted some research and followed up with clear and detailed email highlighting my options, and then invited me for an in-person consultation. Throughout the process, she was unerringly kind, clear, and thorough in outlining my options and explaining the pros and cons of each alternative. What I most appreciated is that rather than trying to persuade me to choose the resolution option that would most benefit her firm, Kelly focused on helping me decide how to best resolve my case and maintain a productive landlord-tenant relationship. She is a thorough, diligent, and responsive lawyer and I highly recommend working with Kelly for any dispute in her specialty areas.

We recently moved to a new apartment in San Francisco. Weeks after moving in we ran into issues after we submitted a reasonable accommodations request for our emotional support animal. Long story short, we hired Kelly to negotiate our rights as tenants with the property management company. After 2 weeks of negotiating, Kelly was able to get us to a settlement that allowed us to stay in our home with our emotional support animal. My fiancé and I were more than impressed with Kelly's professional demeanor, attention to detail and work ethic. Although this was a very stressful time for us, the process was smooth and we had the ideal turnout. We wouldn't have this outcome without her. I would recommend Kelly and her team to anyone looking for representation.
