Recent $640,000 Jury Verdict in Adult Dependent Case

• Mr. Ford handled a case on behalf of a landlord in San Francisco Superior Court.  Our client, the Plaintiff landlord, claimed that 16 tenants (defendants) in his former apartment building owed him a refund of relocation payments, which were paid to the defendants pursuant to the San Francisco Rent Ordinance’s requirements for an Ellis Act eviction, because the eviction was cancelled and the defendants were not forced to move from the property.  Mr. Ford was able to settle the case and obtained $43,100.00 for our client, which amounted to the majority of the damages claimed by our client in its complaint. (June 2015)
