Hooshmand Law Group - San Francisco, CA
Hooshmand Law Group is a premier San Francisco tenant rights and civil litigation firm founded in 2002 by veteran trial attorney Mark Hooshmand. Renowned for securing record results, including California largest single-apartment wrongful eviction settlement of $3 million, the practice aggressively protects tenants, injury victims, and consumers throughout the Bay Area.
Championing San Francisco Tenant Rights and Real Estate Justice
San Francisco and the broader Bay Area feature some of the strictest rent control laws and residential real estate regulations in the nation. When landlords abuse their power, execute illegal lockouts, or disregard building habitability standards, tenants require powerful legal representation to level the playing field. Established in 2002, Hooshmand Law Group has earned a statewide reputation as an elite plaintiffs litigation practice dedicated to defending residential tenants and securing substantial financial compensation for harms suffered. Led by accomplished trial attorney Mark Hooshmand alongside seasoned housing rights litigator Tyler Rougeau, the firm combines extensive courtroom skill with relentless commitment to hold property owners, landlords, and corporations fully accountable.
Specialized Practice in Tenant Rights and Personal Injury Litigation
Hooshmand Law Group focuses on complex housing litigation, premises safety, and catastrophic personal injury claims. Operating primarily on a contingency fee structure where clients owe nothing unless compensation is recovered, the firm delivers world-class representation across key practice areas:
- Wrongful Eviction and Fraudulent Move-Ins: Vigorous prosecution of fraudulent owner-move-in notices, relative-move-in claims, Ellis Act abuse, and coercive buyout pressure intended to displace long-term rent-controlled tenants.
- Illegal and Unpermitted Units: Protecting tenants occupying basement apartments, in-law suites, and unpermitted living spaces who face unlawful eviction, harassment, or unsafe living environments.
- Tenant Harassment and Constructive Eviction: Holding landlords legally liable for intentional utility shutoffs, interference with quiet enjoyment, intimidation, pest infestations, and refusal to make necessary structural repairs.
- Habitability Claims and Fire Damage: Representing tenants injured or displaced due to defective electrical systems, severe toxic mold, building code violations, and apartment fires caused by landlord negligence.
- Premises Liability and Serious Personal Injury: Advocating for individuals who have suffered traumatic slip and fall injuries, harms from dangerous property conditions, and tragic wrongful death incidents across Northern California.
- Class Action and Consumer Protection: Leading high-impact class actions on behalf of tenant groups and consumers subjected to deceptive leasing schemes, illegal utility billing, and municipal code violations.
