Hiring a landlord-tenant lawyer

If you don't qualify for free help, a lawyer referral service can connect you with a local landlord-tenant attorney, often for a low-cost first consultation:

• State Bar of California directory of certified Lawyer Referral Services
  The State Bar does not refer you to a lawyer itself. Its directory lists certified referral services you can search by county, practice area and language. Lawyers referred by certified services give a first consultation for a reduced fee or free. Each service sets its own fees, and the State Bar page does not list them.
