Why SEGURA LAW?

When you've been served with an eviction lawsuit, you don't have time to teach your lawyer the playbook. You need someone who knows the landscape of this specific area of law: the deadlines, the local courtrooms, the moves landlords and their attorneys make, and how to counter them. That is the firm we built, focused on renters.

Over a decade of eviction defense practice. Jonathan Segura has spent his career defending tenants: first at BASTA, Inc., one of Los Angeles's longest-running tenant-defense firms, and now at SEGURA LAW. Unlawful detainer is not a side practice or one of several offerings; it is THE practice. That dedicated focus means every motion we file, every deposition we take, and every settlement conversation we have is informed by more than a decade of experience in this field, every day.

We know the courtrooms and the courthouses. From the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles to the Van Nuys Courthouse in the San Fernando Valley, we appear in every L.A. Superior Court UD courtroom: eleven courthouses in all, from Long Beach to Chatsworth. We know how judges handle their cases, how each clerk runs the calendar, and how settlement conferences happen in each courthouse. That local knowledge translates into faster decisions, sharper arguments, and fewer surprises for the people we represent.

We ONLY represent renters. We will never represent your landlord. Not on this case, not on the next one. Our entire practice exists to protect renters, both residential and commercial, across Los Angeles County. That focus shows up in every case: in the defenses we develop and present, in the procedural traps we know how to avoid, and in the absolute clarity that we are on your side, and only your side.

Bilingual representation. We serve clients in English and Spanish. When you've been sued, you may be facing the most stressful moment of your life. Clear communication with your attorney's office, in the language you actually speak, is critical. From the first phone call through every court appearance, every conversation happens in the language that lets you understand your case and make informed decisions.

We price our representation via transparent flat fees for full-scope representation. We do not charge by the hour. We do not run a meter. SEGURA LAW uses a two-tier flat-fee model: one fee covers pre-trial representation (hearings, motions, discovery, and every attorney hour leading up to trial) and a second fee applies ONLY if your case proceeds to a trial (whether a trial by jury or judge). We will quote you our fee during your free consultation after we have reviewed your court documents and rental agreement. The flat fees are also disclosed in writing in your retainer before you sign anything. There will be NO surprise invoices. There will be NO "add-ons" or "upgrades." There will be NO creeping costs.

We offer you a free consultation with ZERO obligation. Calling us costs you nothing. We do not charge you a fee for a consultation, and there is absolutely no obligation to retain us if you want to hire someone else, or if you want to shop around. We will review your eviction case paperwork, tell you honestly what defenses are available, walk you through what your case is likely to look like, and quote the fee. This is done all BEFORE you decide whether to hire us.

A focused scope outlined up front. Our engagement begins the moment you sign your retainer agreement and ends at settlement or judgment. We do not take on pre-filing notice review, post-judgment motions, or appeals, and we tell you that on the first call, not after you have signed a retainer. That clarity protects you: when we say yes to your case, you know exactly what you are hiring us to do.
