WHERE IS MY DEPOSIT?
Client = good
Sometimes you don't get your security deposit back ...
Even if you clean,
Even if you beg, &
Even if you are nice.

(So does everyone, but landlords just happen to be comfortable taking yours.)
But a security deposit is YOUR money.
Landlords are supposed to hold it for you,
not to invent a reason to take it from you.

Costs + Fees
You getting back your security deposit is simply fair (if you deserve it).
By awarding you (possibly) twice your security deposit, Judges help other tenants have good experiences with landlords.
You can also recover court costs and attorneys fees.

A copy of the original lease, just like it was offered to you with the attachments.
Any other papers you were given with the lease or at the time you signed the lease (even if they look boring, standard, or unimportant).
Anything that changes the lease, or that you signed.

For when we ask...
the letters, emails, notes, & etc.
Those postmarked envelopes, letters, emails, texts etc. that your landlord sent you concerning EITHER your security deposit OR your rent are important.
If you got any correspondence from your landlord (just) before or (anytime) after the termination of your lease, we will need to see it.
We like those canceled checks, receipts, and other things that tell us where the money went or should have gone.
We only look at your gathered documents after we both screen you and look at just enough of your lease and other information to identify conflicts.

We use a FREE EVALUATION to see if we can help.
First, we protect you. By looking at your lease and asking some questions, we make sure we can keep your secrets. It wouldn't be right to you if we represented your landlord, or your ex-husband in something that you wanted help.
Second, we may ask you send us a little more material. We identify the clear claims to see if we can help. You aren't our client at this point.

Third, we give you options. We look at your claim to see to see if there are other means of recovery. Similarly, we listen to what you want rather than what we think you should do. Until you come to an agreement with us to apply the law AND RENDER LEGAL ADVICE, you shouldn't rely on our (or any attorney's) comments.
This means you need to do some things.

THE B IS IMPORTANT TOO. (APPLY THE LAW)
In fact it is where almost all the value is.
While we could just leave it at "You get what you pay for", really you are paying for neutral advice that is in your best interest.
Some professionals provide solutions based upon their interest., We make options available to you based on what YOU want. We consider what works for you, not what is easy for us.

FULLY APPLYING THE LAW isn't the same as a FREE EVALUATION.
Why be
a client?
Good legal analysis requires effort that just isn't present in evaluations.
Not a lot of attorneys tell their clients that effective representation requires some research.
The Laws
Fact
It requires us to make the law fall in love with your facts, so that judges look past the irrelevant flaws, and see the beauty in applying the law for the right reasons.
