Zacks & Freedman PC

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Justin Goodman recently helped me with a tenant buyout. He was great explaining what was happening and getting all necessary paperwork completed. The tenants were not the easiest people to deal with but he helped me keep my cool and get me through the end. I would highly recommend this law firm for any tenant/landlord issues.

This firm express their understanding of what I went through.The provide a timeline for important events, and promptly return phone calls and answer all my questions.
They let me understand all the legal obligations and protect my right.
Mr Zacks and his professional team are the best for all the people like me need help for out of the unfair SF landlords /tenants law.
People who are never know what is a trust happen in every case between the landlord/ tenants and make a judgement to all the landlords fault. It was totally unfair to the landlords.
How many time the tenants were taking advantage

So I get a 60 day notice to leave based on a contrived effort to classify me as a lodger thereby giving me no just cause protections
. Wonder how much he charged them because the description of my apartment is incorrect and the address put is not my address per the landlords own description. Oh lord what a headache this will be

This firm had been recommended by one of my real estates lawyers in SF in order to help on an owner move in situation.
They have been incredibly unresponsive, in particular Justin Goodman who was supposedly in charge of my case.
At the end of the day they never delivered on what they've' committed and wasted 2 important months in my procedure.
I have never experienced such an unprofessional behavior from lawyers (and I've been working with a lot of them).

Trying this again. Having hired multiple other landlord attorneys who have failed to help me with my issue (my tenants came back to claim "wrongful eviction" after they moved out of our condo and we sold it), I recently found Andrew Zacks and company online. I am now hiring Andrew Catterall to beat back the so-called tenant attorney who infamously preys on SF small property landlords. I have faith that he will succeed.

I have worked with several law firms over the years and I have never had a better experience then with Zack, Freedman & Patterson. I cannot praise them enough. The quality of the Associate Attorneys is equal to the firm's reputation.

We reached out to Mr Zacks' firm when our tenant backed up on a promise to vacate our family home after the demise of our mother. Mr Andrew Catterall was available for a consultation and made us feel immediately that we had made the right choice in law firms. Tenant, Through her attorney, demanded $100,000 to vacate the property. Tenants attorney absurdly called it a win win. We spoke with Andrew who gave solid advice throughout the process. We needed two more follow ups with Andrew before the tenant finally vacated our property with NO buyout. Unique situation but nonetheless Andrew helped

San Francisco residents without homes deserve better than these people. Andrew Zacks could have chosen to be apart of the solution to our housing crisis, but he chose to fight against real solutions.

When you think "scumbag mercenary for hire," think Andrew Zacks. This man, in earnest, represents everything wrong with lawyers.

Mr. Zacks is widely acknowledged to be the best real estate attorney in San Francisco. He also does unpublicized work for victims of injustice. Much respect to Mr. Zacks and his outstanding colleagues, from those who know.

Z, F, &P.... Specifically Andrew, $500/hr base fee, for results that are worth MAYBE half that. He is more focused on getting home at the end of the day/for the weekend, than getting the client results. You'll leave the experience down money and disgusted after dealing with Mr. Zacks. There are plenty of quality law firms in this world class city, but Andrew and his work is not indicative of that.

Andrew and Scott both displayed knowledge of the law along with honesty and integrity in seeing a difficult case through to the end.
They always put my interests first.
I can't thank them enough.

I've been in real estate my whole adult life, nearly forty years. Experience has taught me to do my best to stay out of legal trouble and, if it's unavoidable, to hire the best real estate attorney around. A few years ago, I found there was no avoiding a legal battle with the greedy heirs of a deceased partner. Much of my life's work was at stake, so I asked some business associates for the best real estate attorney in the City. I was referred to Andrew Zacks in the Russ Building downtown. I told him my story and he agreed to handle the case for me. He brought in a young associate

Never replied to my email inquiry. I followed up by phone and learned their rate is $500/hour, including for an initial consultation.

I hired Andrew Zack with the idea that at his high rate he will get me to my goal of getting my fraudulent and unethical tenants out of my personal residence. However 5 months and $6k later he dumped my case when I questions his billing practices and all the strategies he recommended which only depleted my retainer. He does not clearly communicate the consequences and the pros and cons of the actions he suggests. His useless actions only made my case weaker and the tenants stronger. He charged me when he gave me wrong information re tenancy laws, then charged me again when he corrected

Although I didn't work with Andrew Zacks and his team for an extended period of time, I found them to be able to handle adverse situations with fairness, honesty, and integrity. If you find yourself in a real estate bind don't hesitate to consider their services.

Andrew Zacks and his team are amazing.

In early 2012, I was trying to sell a condo that I owned in San Francisco when out of the blue my "up to then cooperative" tenant decided to make things difficult. The tenant made many claims about the illegality of my eviction and implied that she could be convinced to move for the right amount of money.

I then met with Andrew. He and I decided on a course of action, followed it, and the tenant left within 60 days under favorable terms. Andrew and his team anticipated every turn and kept me grounded and confident througout the process.

I couldn

Andrew Zacks and Scott Freedman succeeded in rescinding the sale of a house we purchased that had several defects the Sellers intentionally and fraudulently failed to disclose.

After living in the house for 6 months, we began to experience severe water intrusion on the ground level. Initially we consulted Andrew to help us fix the problem, hire the best engineers to create a repair plan, and make sure that the Sellers fully reimbursed us. But as we tried to come up with a repair, it became clear this was no easy fix. It also became clear the Sellers had known about these problems prior to selling

Andrew Zacks and his legal team are amazing! They are responsive, knowledgeable, and strategic with a high sense of integrity. Zacks & Freedman give lawyers a good name!

Thank God I found Zacks & Freedman. My legal problems were massive and they have represented me every step of the way through a very difficult process. I have found their firm to be above all honest, extremely thorough and very knowledgeable.
