Shakhnis Law - Philip Shakhnis, Attorney at Law - Los Angeles, CA

Champions for Safe Housing and Tenant Rights

Shakhnis Law, led by the renowned attorney Philip Shakhnis, is a powerhouse firm dedicated to fighting for the rights of tenants and injury victims in Los Angeles. Located near the famous Farmers Market and The Grove, our firm has earned a national reputation for holding slumlords accountable. 🏠 We believe that every person deserves a safe and healthy place to live. When landlords prioritize profit over people, allowing their properties to fall into disrepair, we step in to demand justice. With over 20 years of experience, Philip Shakhnis has recovered millions of dollars for clients who have suffered due to toxic living conditions, including a landmark $10 million settlement for a child poisoned by lead paint.

Fighting for Health and Safety

Our practice sits at the intersection of tenant rights and personal injury. We handle cases where unsafe housing conditions cause serious physical harm. We are meticulous in our investigation, often hiring industrial hygienists and medical experts to prove the link between your home and your illness.

• Lead Poisoning: Lead paint is a silent killer, especially for children. We are leaders in litigating childhood lead poisoning cases against negligent property owners.
• Carbon Monoxide & Mold: Exposure to toxic mold or carbon monoxide leaks can cause permanent health damage. We fight for compensation for your medical bills and suffering. 😷
• Pest Infestations: No one should have to live with bedbugs, roaches, or rodents. We hold landlords liable for failure to maintain habitable premises.
• Wrongful Eviction: We protect tenants who have been illegally locked out or evicted in violation of rent control laws and the Ellis Act.
• Personal Injury: Beyond housing, we represent victims of severe accidents, ensuring they receive the care and compensation they need to recover.
