A bit of a wait on the phone, but it's hard to complain about free consultation. Associate gave me sound advice and was honest about what I could expect if I retained their services. I highly recommend!

Don’t Do it! Was the worst experience ever . They made so many mistakes charged me for their mistakes. You never get to talk to the same lawyer at trial the lawyer that came did not have my information she was very curt and professional but She actually shushed me so I could not state my case. nor counsel me during trial Lost the case!!! And the office is so incompetent that their response to this review was that I lost to a rat problem which I did not take care of? Apparently they did not read my exhibit from pest control that completed their inspection within 3 days of the complaint. And did not read the Judgement which clearly states my credibility was Questioned due to my lawyers surprise when I accurately informed the court that the tenants report that a fence erected between the neighboring property did not have bearing on this case as it is not in the area that Impedes public access They stated this was approved of by my mother! That the Defendants reported died a few years ago and who my lawyer did not allow me to speak as my mother died in 2010 the gate which was newly erected and clearly pictured with new wood was recently erected and that my mother also approved installation of a washer and dryer that the pictures submitted to the court clearly show the water turn keys they had installed clearly still had the tags on them. And yes the Defendants cried to the court that they would be homeless yet I was also not allowed to point out that the tenants reported on answer that he made 300 dollars a day and asked for 1800 reimbursement for 6 days missed due to being scratched in the eye by a rat when he heard a noise under his kitchen cabinet a man who wears thick glasses he had on in court.He pays only 1100 a month for this one bedroom where his poor children sleep on the living room floor yet is only one tenth of his reported income? How could he become homeless. It was all in the court papers yet your Lawyer who I am sure has been very good did not allow me to state that nor perhaps knew as she did not appear to be informed or to have read what was in the answer. I guess your response makes clear to any one reading this review that you blame your clients and over charge.

Dennis P. Block and Associates have been representing our property management company for over 10 years. We manage multiple apartment and commercial buildings and they have handled many eviction cases for us over the years. We have won every case! The lawyers are top notch, very knowledgeable and know how to protect landlords. I wouldn't consider any other legal representation except Dennis P. Block and Assoc.

***FYI-The review made by Lazaro Marroquin is indeed fraudulent- He was one of our tenants and was successfully evicted Sept 2018. Dennis P. Block represented us.

Take your money to real attorneys. Dennis block are scammers. They will work with the tenants attorneys to drag your case out so they can bleed more money out of you. They are rude. Hang up on you and pass you around to attorneys. On your court dates they will send a rookie attorney, literally first day in court and mess up everything. They will side with your eviction attorneys to make everything take longer. They are a complete scam and waist of 10,000 dollars!!! I repeat find real eviction attorneys. Most unprofessional legal experience of my life. There could be damages from Denise block. Please save your money and get real eviction attorneys. All good reviews here are from their paralegal team! Look into the positive reviews. You can find these people work at Denise block! Everything about them is a scam. Even their reviews.
Oh and they won’t show up to court! Makes you look very bad and unprofessional to the judge. Save yourselves the hassle and get a real attorney!

I recommend Dennis P Block they are a great team and have been to court for many different cases with them, They are very professional. Thank you Dennis, Hasty, Daris...

Very bad lawyer i went with the owner of the bld where i live to court to evict some tenants a couple of times and most of the times he let the tenants win i was the manager of the bld at that time i will not recomend him to represent owners but to represent tenants yesssss

i've tried your service before was great ,but your associates are not skilled ,they don't know how to handle cases and direct theit clients the wright way ,and that will ruin your empire that you have for years ,i am sorry

First off, EVERYONE I have spoken to here has been EXTREMELY RUDE & DISRESPECTFUL. I was hung up on by everyone I spoke to & then once they got sick of me calling, they placed me on hold and just refused to pick up the phone. Second, how do you guys expect to get payments from ANYONE, talking to people the way you do? You ain’t getting a penny from me.
UPDATE: (since they responded) so, they also LIE! Haha! I NEVER called your firm with any case to be a “client” of yours. & i was never abusive with any of your staff; they were abusive with me. I was actually calling the office about a payment plan on a case you have that involves me. But, I refuse to deal with morons so eh. You’re trying to run a professional business, you have to be more professional.

My case took for almost 2 months after I paid Dennis Block and Associates for an Eviction for None payment rent, before they even start the case. And today, when I requested to continue to work on my case, they told me that Attorney who start to work on my case— out of town for the next 5 days. I told them what they told me themselves: it’s a Law Group, not an Individual Attorney, so, Anybody can continue to work on my case, not just one attorney who is out of town now. They keep insisting on that one attorney who will be back in 5 days and I asked for their Supervisor on which— They just hang up on me— which Was Extremely Rude for someone who Hired then to do their job. I tried to call few time after they Hang up on me— they did not pick up phone. I asked my Boyfriend to call them from his phone and Explain cituation and ask for Superviser. My boyfriend called for me and they did connect him eventually with Superviser. Now, they start working on my case... They explained to him: that they don’t want to talk to me anymore, but they will talk to him: when it’s my case and I pay them!!! They said: because I am from Russia, they don’t want to talk to me... Is’t that strange?.. They don’t want to talk to me because I am from Russia?..

Didn't hate the place. Just the person I spoke with confused me

Dennis Block and his associates are a group of incompetent, unethical, and unprofessional attorneys. No one in the office has any idea what is going on with your case. They have a different attorney answer the phone each time you call. They did absolutely nothing to represent me in my case. They sent an attorney to the hearing who was completely unfamiliar with the case and the issues. To them, your case is just a number and they don’t care about any specific facts. This firm is a mill and all they care about is the quantity of cases they bring in. I would highly recommend going with one of the many other landlord attorneys in Los Angeles.

I had them prepare a settlement agreement for me and gave them a list of specific terms that should be included in the agreement. They failed to include the terms in the agreement, and as a result, opposing counsel was no longer willing to add the term in after we brought the missing term to their attention. Essentially, I lost my rights in the settlement as a result of Dennis Block’s incompetence as an attorney.

To make matters worse, their office tried to charge me twice for the same exact hearing. He sent me 3 letters threatening to sue me for not paying for the same hearing twice. After I called him and explained to him how incompetent he was, he agreed to reverse the charge.

If you want an attorney who will breach his ethical duties to you, and an attorney who won’t know anything about your case, Dennis Block is your man!

Tried several times to contact them ....finally got through ....After waiting for about 20 minutes like a fortune 500 company. I finally was able to talk to a fairly incompetent lawyer who didn’t know much about the case and hung up on me mid sentence. I understand that an evection law firm isn’t going to attract Harvard’s top talent but it doesn’t cost anything to just be professional and kind. I didn’t think that was something they needed to teach at law school but apparently for the block employees they need a little review on their manners.

Great lawyer

Great service.

They get the jod done

Help me evict tenants out of my place very professional. Very knowledgeable on the process of eviction making me aware of the mistakes I was making along the way

These guys are the best. No question.

Horrible service and poor manners. They requested our bank information to collect a retainer before discussing how they would evict one of our tenants. Based on their abrupt manner and sense of entitlement, we decided to go with another attorney group one day later. Dennis Block refused to refund our retainer after doing zero work. After several calls, they issued partial refund with no work performed what so ever. I'd advise you to hire another attorney.

Just find some other firm and avoid this mill.Its like having a public defender except this is your time and money.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Especially Hassi.

For you landlords; What is the best reason to hire the Block Team now? Because baby you don't want the "BIG DOG" to be working for your enemy"s side! I am a tenant and the Block Team just got my eviction case dismissed! If the Block Team is working for the other side, you are in for a world of pain! So if I were you, I would hurry up and hire Dennis Block before the other side does!..............Max Damn, it's good to have the "Big Dog" on my side. I feel ten feet tall!

Rude people

I like how they always give free phone consultation which has been very helpful, however now that we have an eviction case with them, I think their system is a disadvantage to their clients. We are always dealing with a different attorney who has to spend so much time reviewing the documents and has no idea what is going on in our case. They also do not pay attention to details of the case, which did cost us a lot of money.

If I could give less than one star I would give the.-5.
I am a Landord in a rental control area and I will not use this attorney ever, his attorneys were insisting and leading me to go to trial where there was no need for, they overcharge me and after I fired them and closing the case they keep charging me.

Let me say briefly what happened:

The Judge tells everybody to go to the cafeteria to negotiate with the tenants, Dennis Block attorneys told me that the tenants did not want to negotiate or talk to me and that they wanted to go to trial. I insisted to get together and negotiate with tenants but the attorney told me that the tenants refused to get together and to go home and think about setting up a trial. Going to trial will cost me $5,500. plus any other court visit $700 each.

After I fired them, I represented myself and I had better results.
In My experience with Dennis Block and Associates is that they will insist on going to trial and making your case longer for their own financial Benefit.
I am so, so sorry I retained his services.

Horrible !! This man wills start screaming at you. I ask for my file back and now he wants me to give him MONEY in order to return my file in a collection matter !! I don't understand why he still advertizing in AOA magazine . Please Do not use Dennis P Block !!! BLOCK IS RUDE !!

UPDATE - CONFIRMED CON-MEN. They were going to charge us $2500 for pre-trial paperwork prep then if it was going to go to court after that $3000. I fired them and decided to go myself and found out they had already requested it go to jury court so the pre trial was already cancelled! So they were charging $2500 for nothing!!! And guaranteeing themselves an extra $3000! Quite frankly disgusting!

All of the people here including Dennis are rude and care only about taking the most money they can from you and hiding how much it's actually going to cost when you ask them.

Fraudsters. DO NOT USE.

I did not like the results of a simple case that was lost and Dennis was very condescending towards me when i tried to discuss it with him. There are plenty of non mill eviction firms that will take care of your issues.

Dennis Blok is the worst nightmare you could ever hire. He tells you one price and then just keeps billing you. He never explains the eviction process. I must say he always picked up the phone when I called just to yell at me and tell me that he's got five other calls waiting and that I was killing him with my questions about my case. I believe Dennis Block's agenda is to keep his clients scared so that he can Bill them an astronomical amount of money. He won't fight for you, won't listen to instruction and will tell you to go FK yourself if you don't like what he's doing. Now how is that for an attorney you pay to represent you in your best interest. It treats you like you're the opposing party. I have reported him to the State Bar and I am interviewing attorneys to file a malpractice suit against Dennis Block. He never informed me of costs and also his trial attorney settled my case without attorney fees when I instructed her to get attorney fees. It wasn't until after the case was over that she told me I would not get attorney fees. I was pissed and she blew me off and told me to go home. Very professional attorneys , not. If you value your sanity and don't want to be more stressed out than your tenant is making you then find another attorney who will follow your instructions.

After many years, and over a hundred evictions with Block, I was having problems with the office staff. I finally called Block himself to complain. To put it simply, I wouldn't let my father talk to me the way he did. Block is a rude abusive a**hole. After I left, I started to find out just how badly he treats clients. I will say I had only one problem with one of the attorneys, and that's very good. The office staff on the other hand is horrendous.

DO NOT!! I REPEAT DO NOT USE THIS FIRM. THEY USE TO BE GOOD NOW THEY GET PAID TO LOSE!!

Dennis Block is the best there is in the eviction business. When you see someone last in this business for decades, there is a reason. Many people who complain, do so for the wrong reasons. I have had many eviction cases with this law firm. I have been a property owner in Los Angeles for some time now. Dennis Block gets the job done. Every time I call, I always speak to an attorney. Yes, they are curt - and that's fine by me. Less time speaking to me, means more time working on my case. Yes they are a busy law firm - but then ask yourself why? Obviously they are doing something right. Much of the delays in my case had NOTHING to do with them, and everything to do with the court delays and the sheriffs department being understaffed. Many people do not understand this and blame the law office. Please consider this law firm despite what you may read about them on some sites. Honestly, many of the people complaining are tenants who were evicted or clients who are impatient and do not understand the legal process. I can assure you, if you want results, look no further!!!!

The nastiest, rudest, foulest group of people I have ever done business with in my life. Believe me - there are better human beings out there doing this work and you should avoid Block and his assistant "Manya" like a bad root canal. There is no excuse for anyone - and I don't care how busy you are - to speak to people or treat clients so disrespectfully, as if we are the idiots. He's the one doing the bottom of the barrel crap work of the legal industry, which may account for his inferiority complex. I happen to be an educated, successful real estate investor who doesn't need this idiot and am still angry at my business associate who said "try this guy. He seems pretty good." He runs a mill, could not care less who he insults (all you are is a small one-time fee - no more, no less) and he keeps "go screw yourself" letters to clients as forms. What does that say about him? Check him out on Yelp and some of the other sites. Very unpopular.

If you want a rude, nasty, unhelpful person to take all the money he possibly can from you to do nothing go to Dennis Block!

The worst place to do business with. They are so quick in senting bills but when it comes to service. They are the worst. They should not be in business. The wait was 45 mins to an hour of phone call. Some of the people who work in their office don't even know what they are doing. Staffing is terrible.

The worst experienced ever it seems like their working for the tenant not for the landlord plus it will still cost you an arm and a leg. All they want is your money. By the way they never got the tenants out.

One star is too much of a compliment for this firm. If you want to deal with rude, unprofessional, and unintelligent "attorneys" then please call Dennis Block & Associates. First class in serving top notch attitude and arrogance. I even had the pleasure of being hung up on in the middle of my sentence by Dariush! Called back immediately to be transferred to Ryan who was equally as rude. Such an unpleasant experience that I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. Such firms should not be allowed to operate.

This firm is BEYOND FAILURE. Everyone that works there is RUDE. Even when you call and the receptionist answers she sounds miserable. So let me tell you about my experience with this firm.
A few years back my mom was diagnosed with a brain anursym and could no longer work. Her husband stayed home with her when she first got home because us kids couldnt fully take care of her. So SONY CONSRUCTION who was our landlord at the time evicted us becuase they couldnt pay the rent that month.
When we left, my mom put a forwarding address so that she can receive any information on the settlement. SHE NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING!
Now its been YEARS later and we have heard NOTHING.
I check my bank because i have a notification that there is an urgent message, which is odd. It says that there is a levy on my account because my mom's name is on my account from when she helped me set it up as a minor.
This account is fully MINE. She does not transact on it AT ALL. She is legally DISABLED and has to be taken care of.
Well then I contacted the source of the levy and explained the situation and asked my options to get it removed (given it is MY account and my mom has HER OWN ACCOUNT). And I speak to a woman by the name of MANYA.
At first she was decent and told me I just needed to fax her proof that the account was only mine and I am the only one who transacts on it.
So I did.
I faxed over my bank statements that show the only deposits going in are direct deposits from my work, and the only money coming out is my bills. NOTHING TO DO WITH MY MOM AT ALL.
When I called her back she stated that wasnt enough. I needed a letter from my bank stating that all I have said is true. So I contacted them and they said okay they would fax it to her.
I call her back, NO ANSWER.
So I leave a message. Thinking, maybe she is on lunch.
I called back a little more than an hour later and oh joy DENNIS P. BLOCK HIMSELF. He informs me that MANYA refuses to speak to me and that HE DOESNT CARE WHAT THE SITUATION IS AND DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE PROOF THAT WAS PROVIDED HE IS NOT LETTING GO OF MY ACCOUNT UNTIL HE HAS A COURT ORDER. THEN THE A**HOLE HUNG UP ON ME.
Imagine my shock.
I have not been rude.
I have simply requested they take the levy off my account and proved my mother had NOTHING to do with it. I just wanted to remove her since I wansnt aware she was even on there still. I figured she was taken off when I turned 18 given i was no longer a minor.

So in the end... IF YOU WANT TO EVICT SOMEONE... MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THEM INFORMED SO THEY CAN PAY YOU AND DONT USE DENNIS P. BLOCK AND ASSOCIATES.

IF THIS WHOLE YELP PAGE ON THEM ISNT PROOF THEY DONT CARE TO HELP YOU OR YOUR CASE AND THAT ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS... YOUR LOSS.

I wrote a Yelp Review about Dennis P Block & Associates. But didn't on Google. So you can look up my review on Yelp. Because, BUYER BEWARE!!! My Yelp Review exceeded the amount of words allowed on Google reviews. So, you can just go to Yelp too to check this law firm out. it's VERY Important when hiring an attorney that you know who you're dealing with!!

I would never trust this law firm as far as I could throw them?! Just notice things when you arrive. If it doesn't feel right? TRUST your instincts. You can find my review on Yelp under Tara I. Besides many who've given them 1 star bad reviews. If you read my other reviews too. You'll notice I'm actually very generous in raving about other services. I am not a negative person by nature. So take that under advisement too. The review is VERY Honest and descriptive of how I was treated.

Take good care...

Also the very day after I wrote my Yelp Review, After I'd done my 6 phone calls to them to recoup even the $150 they said they'd give back. A measly amount of money for all the work they never did on my behalf! That was because I never went to court. That was a refund of the court fee. I got my $150.00 from them within a week's time thereafter. As I said in my review. It was extremely laborious to get even that much back from them. Good luck and be well!!!

I haven't been able to fully describe just WHAT Dennis Block and his team did for me. I have never come across such dedicated, kind people in my life. I don't know how these people didn't find Block and his legal team as efficient as I did.

These are not your run-of-the-mill eviction attorneys. These attorneys are all about you! I've never thought that being a client of Block meant that I would receive the attention and hard work that these attorneys put in for me and my case. I appreciated how transparent they were on work done on behalf of me. I felt comfortable and listened to whenever they asked me details on the case. Great, great attorneys from this business.

I am really happy with the work that this law firm has done on behalf of me and my building. I had a couple who had completely disregarded the tenant agreement that they signed when they first moved in to my apt. complex. Block did a great job making sure that everything was fixed and that I got the compensation and demands that I deserved.

Dennis P Block & Associates really represented my legal interests as a California landlord. I can't believe that attorneys such as Block exist. I really felt like my every need and concern was met because these lawyers were true experts on eviction. I really am grateful that I found these attorneys when I did as they were a big help to me.

After a month + the Marshall refused to serve the notice because block got address wrong. Checked all my paperwork and that was correct but another month and one half goes by with no rent and at least they ate the redo cost but at $70 per day rent my additional losses were substantial AND no apology or refund. So good luck.

Coming to Dennis P Block & Associates has lifted huge loads off my shoulders. I wanted professional help to get through the eviction process safely and legally. Thankfully this law firm has been an irreplaceable outlet of information and guidance. I've been happy with every single instance I've had to deal with Dennis P Block and Associates.

Despite popular belief, we landlords hate evicting people. The process is not easy, and we truly aren't cold and heartless people. We have a job and we are trying to do it to the best of our ability. That is why I thank ever star I was able to enlist Dennis P Block & Associates to help me. They were able to approach my eviction case with care and professionalism. I wanted nothing more than to have an eviction case go as smoothly as possible. Through the attorneys here, I found lawyers who were sympathetic to my cause, yet determined to get the job done well.

They are terribly rude!!!! they nickel and dime you. don't use them!!!!!!!!!

I got tired of lawyers not doing their job and being so secretive about the work they were doing on behalf of me. I found Dennis P Block & Associates from a friend of mine and it's been a breath of fresh air. These lawyers were always honest, to the point, and constantly working for me and my needs. My eviction case was a tough one, and I needed a lawyer that would care about me. I found that at this business and more. Thanks to this Valley Village law firm, I got the results and outcome I deserved!

Grateful to Dennis P Block & Associates for saving me in my biggest time of need. These lawyers were the epiphany of transparent, making sure that I got constantly updated on the status of my eviction case. These lawyers are true experts in their field and I can't imagine trusting someone else with my eviction case other than the associates here. Thanks so much for everything!

I looked to Dennis P Block & Associates for my eviction case. The rules and regulations regarding eviction truly overwhelmed me. I just wanted to have my apt. building have an impeccable reputation. Therefore, calling Dennis P Block & Associates was my saving grace. I truly don't know what I would do without this law firm. The lawyers took care of everything, allowing me to not worry about a thing. They were transparent, constantly updating me on the status of my case and worked hard to get me the results I deserved. Thanks again.

The tenant eviction lawyers at this law firm were amazing and some of the most reliable people I've ever dealt with. They were incredible in making sure I knew the status of my cases constantly. They were transparent about the work that was done with my eviction cases and their knowledge and patience about eviction laws gave me peace of mind.

I am so glad for this law firm. They were great with my eviction case. Like stated in our terms early on, they made sure to update us constantly about our case, making us firmly feel that our case was in good hands under their supervision. Best of all, the sheer amount of dedication and information they provided impressed us greatly. I just wouldn't look to anyone else for lawyers other than Dennis Block's law firm if you need help with something as tough as eviction.

To the law firm of Dennis Block & Associates, I would like to thank you for sincerely understanding the needs of a landlord. Often times, people misunderstand just how difficult it is to maintain a building and satisfy our tenants. We put everything we have into our income property and taking care of our tenants. Thus, your expertise into knowing the legal implications of having to evict tenants lawfully and fairly helped us so much. Your sheer dedication into making sure we received the most efficient and thorough law services truly made us feel like we were in good hands. Thanks so much for your excellent representation and help.

I am extremely grateful that this law firm exists. I have used this law firm for tenant evictions 3 times now and I've never been let down with Dennis P. Block & Associates. You all do an amazing job with being completely transparent about the work you do on behalf of me! You truly lift a huge load of stress off my shoulders as I know that in terms of tenant eviction, I'm in great hands. I definitely recommend this firm for its extensive knowledge and expertise.

This is the worst lawyer you can hire for eviction and anything they offer. They do not provide updates as they promised and stated on their website. Each time we call in for an update, they tell us that they don't have our file in front of them and they want us to send in documents again when we already sent them couple times. The worst is when you ask for an update of the case, they want you to pay an extra cost for the service that supposed to be included in the original fee we agreed upon.

Do yourself a big favor not to use this scum back and also spread the words out to ban them from unlawful practice.

They deserve 0 star in my opinion.

My experience with Dennis Block's office has been nothing but positive. The attorneys and staff are very professional and they are by far the experts in this field. The attorneys are nice and very helpful. When you call you may get a different attorney but they all answer your questions and give me information and updates on my case. The attorneys have a wealth of knowledge and any landlord who has issues with their tenants should definitely call Dennis Block.

I have been using Dennis Block's office for years for my evictions. I could not be happier with the service and advise this firm gives. They offer so many forms on their website for free. Every time I call, I am able to speak with an attorney and found out the status of my case as well as ask questions regarding other landlord tenant issues I am having. They are very fast and efficient with their service and send me updates on may case. The firm also has a system where I can check my case online. Every time I have had to appear in court for my cases the attorneys are very familiar with my case and fight for me. They are the premier firm in this area of law. I highly recommend this firm and will continue using them for my eviction needs.

I have used this firm on 4 occasions. Each time the tenant was evicted and I have no complaints. The fees were reasonable and I would get continuous updates on my case. When the tenant threatened me they took the time to calm me down and gave me very practical advise. I will definitely use them again if the need arises.

I have been using Dennis P. Block & Associates for years. I have filed over 25 cases and his team has been successful each time. They continually keep me updated on my cases and the follow through has been superb.

On one case I received a phone call from Dennis Block at 7 AM telling me that I had not returned some paperwork that was delaying the case. I was very surprised that Dennis Block personally would make that call. I am very impressed with this firm.
