Dedicated To California Renters

When your landlord won’t listen or forces you to take legal action, you need a strong, experienced advocate at your side. Pettibone Tenant Law serves tenants — and Tenants only — with exceptional passion and care. Through aggressive advocacy and tenacious litigation, Pettibone Tenant Law (PTL) has won millions of dollars in compensation for California tenants.

Mr. Pettibone takes wrongful eviction and habitability violation cases throughout California. If your landlord refuses to make repairs, PTL will fight for your right to live free from the threat of safety risks, property losses, and health hazards in your home. If your landlord forces you to move through negligence and retaliation, PTL can recover your overpaid rent, recoup your moving costs, and enforce State and local laws to obtain punitive damages for landlord retaliation.

Raised in Elk Grove and groomed as a litigator in San Francisco, Mr. Pettibone will bring an unparalleled passion and tenacity to the fight against your bad landlord.

He gave me insight and so much knowledge about my case, knowing that I would not need to hire him. You can tell he genuinely cares about the community he works in and about tenants. People like this give me faith in humanity when it isn't just about the dollar signs for them. I highly recommend hiring him if your case requires an attorney. I can tell he goes the extra mile without nickel and diming his clients. read less

He was present and attentive during the consultation, and his commitment to mission and values shines. He explains things clearly (in lists and sequentially, which I appreciated). My experience with Jeff was that he aims for a win-win, and will be transparent about pricing and the best way to achieve your goals, whether that's with his guidance or independently. I trust him to be honest, fair, and knowledgable. Highly recommend. read less
