The Law Office Of Andrew Serros

Erik Bauman offered me an excellent free consultation when I was recently struggling trying to figure out my legal rights with a forced eviction during Covid-19. He provided me with advice that really calmed my mind, and helped me move forward during one of the most stressful times in my life. Can't say enough how much I appreciate his service, timeliness and thoroughness.

I suddenly received from my landlord of 28 years an eviction notice for my Berkeley rent controlled apartment. There were several free legal sources who offered to take my case, but I opted to retain a lawyer as I wanted a personal representative at the time of the hearing, and I wanted to retain a lawyer for future dealings with this landlord afterward. I retained Erik Bauman at the Office of Andrew Serros. He came recommended by the East Bay Law Center. Erik is young, but smart. He did not promise I would win, but he did assure me along with the other legal sources, I had a strong case. Erik put together a handsome portfolio for the hearing from materials I gave him. He was helpful during the hearing at the Berkeley Rent Board. And we did win. I retained Erik afterwards to be my legal representative from this point on while I am in this rent controlled apartment. Although my case was pretty straightforward, I think Erik handled everything professionally and efficiently. I would trust him with a more complicated case. I was happy with my dealing with Erik and the Serros Law Firm.

Erik Bauman is a no nonsense attorney, respectful and reliable, well educated in tenants rights! Would highly recommend.

Erik was incredibly helpful with my issue, and helped me resolve it without litigating. I highly recommend his practical, human-first approach!
