The Law Offices of Richard F. Kelly

Precise Representation for Landlords

Experience counts. AV-rated Richard F. Kelly is one of the most successful, respected and detail-oriented real estate attorneys in the Bay Area.

When it comes to tenant evictions, or Unlawful Detainers, speed is of the essence for landlords. Your goal is to rid the property in question of a destructive or non-paying tenant as quickly as possible, so you can turn it over and re-rent it to someone more dependable. You want to minimize any loss of income and avoid mistakes that can lead to court-imposed fines. That’s why you need the best representation possible. Richard F. Kelly, a lawyer practicing in San Mateo County, is a recognized expert in unlawful detainers specifically, and landlord/tenant law in general.

To ensure timely summary eviction actions, it is vital that the attorney must know precisely how to handle each step in the procedure, from the eviction notice to the Sheriff's Instructions. Mistakes are literally not allowed. If even one mistake is made at any point, the landlord must usually start from the beginning all over again, lengthening the process, causing more loss of rental revenue and resulting in additional legal expense.

Richard Kelly knows the procedures and every pitfall to avoid. In his 27-year legal career, he has successfully handled over 5,000 eviction cases from start to finish, in addition to other property-related issues including premises liability, building codes, discrimination and harassment. His rare experience as both prosecutor and defender (representing landlords and tenants) and also as a judge in these types of cases gives him a unique and advantageous perspective.

Mr. Kelly is an attorney who has the experience that will save you time and money in this area of the law…let him put it to work for you.
