Fried, Williams & Grice Conner LLP

I worked with William Lynn and his paralegal Fabienne Lopez. William was generally fine, but in one area he was lacking. He did not make it clear that we had the option to not accept partial payment and then serve a rent and quit notice. He only mentioned serving a pay or quit notice briefly.

The paralegal Fabienne was technically deficient. She prepared a rent increase notice with incorrect numbers, and failed to serve it in time for the first of the month effective date. The firm asked me to check her work, and I found the error. She corrected it. Then FWGC had the incompetence to CHARGE ME for her fixing the error. When I demanded a refund for those services, they did, but they made excuses.

Mandy, Steve and the FWGC team are highly knowledgeable and thorough professionals, and were solid resources for us in helping understand, navigate and resolve some important needs.

Unproductive experience with FWGC.

In short, the attorney they matched me with couldn't answer my questions (saying directly that she didn't have experience in my city nor about my situation and that I should email their office for a better attorney fit) -- but they didn't reply to my follow up emails aside from what appeared to be automated invoices.

After six weeks I followed up by phone, asking for replies to my questions, and they finally shared: "Yes, FWGC does have experience in this area. ... At this time, we do not have anyone available to assist you with your matter."

Sounds like I shouldn't have been matched with an attorney?

I was referred to David Semel at FW&G. I am not a professional landlord (just one SFH in SF which I used to live in and temporarily rent until I can return) and was dealing with a difficult situation. I was able to get an appointment quickly and he advised me on my case and recommended a buy-out which he then proceeded to work on. He handled everything for me, as I was not in a state to be able to do it myself, which did make it more expensive, but it was worth it for my mental health. He was really good, communicated well, put up with myriad questions from me and completed a successful buyout. I would recommend David to any one with serious property issues.

The absolute best! I came to Fried, Williams & Grice Conner with an issue regarding rent increases. Alana and her team not only assisted me but I felt like before I could blink everything was completed. I am not only prepared for this year but all of the years following. I am a beginner when it comes to real estate but they were patient and answered all of my questions. Thank you so much!
