How billing works
The consultation covers an initial review of your situation and a quote for the work ahead — nothing is billed until you agree to move forward.
Flat fees cover the listed work from start to finish. Hourly matters are billed against any retainer, with an itemized statement each month. Court filing fees, service-of-process costs, and other third-party expenses are not included and are billed at cost.
Sample figures only — this prototype does not process real payments.

Jasmine T.
Eviction defense · Jun 2025
Got my eviction case dismissed and helped me stay in my apartment.
Marcus W.
Security deposit · Apr 2025
Explained every step and never made me feel rushed.
Renee K.
Habitability · Mar 2025
My landlord ignored repair requests for months. Maya sent one letter and the work started that week.
Devon P.
Eviction defense · Jan 2025
She caught a defect in the notice that got the whole case thrown out. Worth every penny.
Alisha B.
Lease dispute · Nov 2024
Clear about costs upfront and quick to reply. Felt like she actually cared about the outcome.
Tom H.
Security deposit · Sep 2024
Recovered my deposit plus damages without going to a full hearing. Very straightforward process.
