Wolford Law Firm

Jason is wonderful — he truly works in the best interest of his clients. His advice is honest and trustworthy and I have full confidence in his knowledge of the many complex, nuanced and rapidly-​changing housing laws in San Francisco. He has hopefully gotten me out of needing his further services, but in the event my situation turns into a lawsuit, I will 100% go back to him.

Jason is a good lawyer: honest and trustworthy. My legal issue was resolved thanks to his good advice and good practice.

Jason was a great help to us when our building was sold. He was clear about his fees from the beginning — they were more than reasonable — and he stayed with us the whole time giving us advice about what to do and when.
Instead of feeling lost and alone, we felt we were backed by a professional whose interests were the same as ours. I have since recommended Jason to friends facing the same problem in San Francisco.

If you have any kind of legit with your landlord, this is the guy you need to call now. He help us stay in our BMR apartment that is not even on a rent control place basis. He wrote a really nice letter to our landlord that got them immediately scared and withdrawn the eviction. We greatly appreciated his services & professionalism.

It was a relief to have Jason advocating for me against a difficult lawyer. He was also great at informing me of the various options I had, and finding which best suited my needs. He’s kind, patient, and open in tense and constantly shifting situations. Thanks so much for your help!

Jason is currently working on a case for me and I cannot be more grateful to his candidness and energy he puts in to listen and put his best foot forward to make sure justice is served. Jason have kept it one hundred from the beginning and makes you feel comfortable at all times.
I am writing this review on my own accord and would recommend Mr. Wolford to anyone who wants justice when Landlords/​Building Managers violate your rights.
Jason Wolford is THE Best at what he does.

As others have already attested, Jason comes with my highest recommendation. My wife and I, like many others before us, and surely after, are being evicted by our landlord, aided by her aggressive attorney. Jason has provided very sage advice, and is very cordial, understanding and informed.

I can’t recommend Jason highly enough. I was in a tough and complicated tenancy situation, and Jason was the strong advocate I needed. The landlord’s powerful lawyers wouldn’t even return my calls, but once I had Jason fighting for me, he was able to open negotiations and work out deals on my behalf. From what I’ve seen his expertise and competence are second to none. I’ve also asked other attourneys about him, and his reputation is stellar.
In a field where the clients are often vulnerable, I like the fact that Jason is a virtuous person: he’s honest and doesn’t price gouge. He has the type of personal touch you need when you’re in a highly stressful situation; for a few weeks he was almost like my therapist. If you’re a tenant in a bad situation and need a strong advocate, I’d tell you that Jason is the best in town.

After speaking to several attorneys regarding my landlord/​tenant matter (I was the tenant) I decided to hire Jason. His understanding of tenants rights as well as the landlord’s rights and the time he took to explain them in detail to me helped me make informed decisions on WHAT to do and WHEN to do it. Given my legal background, these are extremely important in any case and especially in mine. We were able to win our matter and receive settlement quickly instead of waiting for months. I would recommend Jason if you are looking for someone well versed in landlord/tenant’s rights who will work with you each step of the way. Thanks!

Jason is truly an invaluable asset to have on your side. He’s intelligent, knows what he’s talking about, and has a tact for getting things done. He followed through on everything that he told us he would help us with. We are so grateful to him for helping us with a very complicated case. There’s no way we could have worked through our issues without him. He is a serious, no nonsense lawyer who will fundamentally get the job done. Thank you so much, Jason!

Jason has been my attorney for a few years now. He has managed to get me out of what seemed to be impossible legal situations. He is honest and he genuinely cares.
It is hard to come by lawyers with these qualities. I would highly recommend him!

Jason recently obtained a substantial settlement for me in a wrongful injury lawsuit against my landlord in San Francisco. His professionalism, knowledge of the law, and tenacity won against professional litigators and claims adjustors representing a major insurance company and other attorneys representing the owner. His common sense strategy advice and good working relationship with SF City departments, judges and mediators certainly helped to maximize my settlement. I highly recommend Jason for any case involving serious injury and landlord negligence. Also, I note that I met Jason at a San Francisco Tenants Union meeting where he donates his time generously. He wins big and gives back to the Community.

Jason was recommended to me when I was so despondent about a wrongful situation at work that could have jeopardized not only my future, but also other employees’ s future, if it were not handled properly.
Jason was extremely calm and quickly assessed the situation while sorting out my documentation.
Jason was extremely thorough and offered exceptional guidance every step of the way. He was generous of his time, in spite of being an extremely busy lawyer. He always demonstrated intelligence and clarity without putting any pressures, even though he did not like what was obviously so unlawful and wanted immediate actions. His strategies were excellent and he always respected my cautious approach to reach an excellent compromise with my employer. He always demonstrated great patience. He gave me down to the point information and support through e-​mails, every step of the way. It helped guarantee my employer’s compliance with the law for all employees of a certain category and regularize my situation. All of this was accomplished without any ill-​effects on the whole staff. If Jason travels a lot for big cases, for which he gives 100% of his time, he will always let you know when he can be reached.
Jason gave me courage, strength and top notch guidance with options that did fit my personality. There are very few men of his caliber. Especially in a profession in which greed and aggression often drown the issues. Jason genuinely cares and has an incredible integrity. I will always highly recommend him.

I almost wish my landlord would follow through on her eviction threats just so I could hire Jason. Just kidding, I actually can’t afford to get evicted.
Unlike three other tenant lawyers I talked to:
— Jason was the most generous, honest, and not pushy. He had great strategies that would get me more money in the long-​run from my landlord.
— He gave great advice on buyouts which would give me more leverage. I later found his same advice in the SF Tenant’s Union Handbook.
— He seems to have the most fair and honest pricing for a buyout. Other lawyers wanted lots of money just to chat with me about it and negotiate with my landlord even if she doesn’t follow through with a buyout.
— He did not pressure me to sign agreements to work with him.
He’s the only lawyer whom I refer to friends.

I needed to consult on an employment law matter, looking for advice on negotiation vs. mediation or litigation, with very short notice. I provided Mr. Wolford several documents and a brief synopsis of the somewhat complex circumstances, and he was able to give a comprehensive review of the situation quickly.
He then took the time to walk me through my options thoughtfully and carefully. He recommended against litigation, essentially turning away possible business. I am grateful for his candor and straightforward, ethical approach to my problem and would gladly recommend him.

I am not sure if this guy is legitimate because he is rarely available, and he doesn’t seem to have an assistant.
In any case, after calling 4 times, I finally heard back from him. He was so aggressive and not grasping the case that I decided not to hire him. I do think that having a bully on your side can be forceful, but it doesn’t beat smarts and strategy and can backfire.

We recently purchased a new vacation home and had nothing but trouble with the realtor that was the sellers agent. 6 months after we closed escrow, we discovered a defect in the garage and the agent didn’t want to take any responcibilty for repairing it. I called Jason for his guidance. He is extremely knowledgeable about real estate and who is liable for what. He was responsive and immediately drafted a letter for me and within a couple of weeks, I had a check in hand for the entire amount of the bid to fix the gargage. I wish I would have gotten him involved from the very beginning of our purchase. I would have some $$$ and lots of headaches. If you need an advocate on your side, hire Jason!

I highly recommend Jason as one of the top lawyers in the Bay Area, in his field. He is exceptional at landlord/​tenant disputes and extremely articulate in seeing the bigger picture. My case was unusual & bizarre, yet with Jason’s experience and negotiating skills, it was resolved above and beyond my expectations. He’s a really good egg, honest and created sanity in an insane situation I was fighting!

Jason is amazing. He’s honest, forthright and one-​of-​a-​kind. We found Jason thru the SF Tenants Union, after interviewing/​meeting with several attorneys on the list they provided. We were renters who had been in the same flat for almost 20 years and were being evicted. We wanted to challenge the eviction and Jason was the one who felt we had a compelling case. He was on our side every step of the way — from the initial conversations with the owner’s attorney thru the (favorable) mediation. Jason’s integrity, persistence and ability to ‘fight for the little guy’ is all too rare these days. While we hope to never find ourselves in a similar situation, I know that Jason will be the one attorney I will keep on my speed dial. Thank you!

Jason helped me to navigate the complexities of the legal system with generosity and skill. His intelligent decisions, legal expertise and counsel helped me to win my case. I could not have done it without him! I highly recommend him to any tenant in San Francisco who finds themselves in need of a lawyer. He is your advocate. Hire him!
