Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C. was founded to provide victims of civil injustice with diligent and effective representation. At BV Law, we are accustomed to opposing large business interests, insurance companies, government entities, and aggressive landlords. Our attorneys' personal attention and responsibility for each case distinguish us from other firms. Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C. represents tenants in wrongful eviction, harassment and habitability suits, eviction defense, and owner move-ins. BV Law represents employees in discrimination, hostile work environment, wrongful termination and wage and hour claims, and consumers in consumer fraud and lemon law actions.
From our San Francisco office, we provide clients across the Bay Area with effective legal services in the following areas of law:
- Eviction Defense: In San Francisco, you can only be evicted for just cause. If you have been served a three-day notice or unlawful detainer complaint, you have a limited time to respond.
- Tenants' Rights: When a landlord violates the rent ordinance with respect to a rent-controlled unit, the tenant may be entitled to treble damages (plus attorneys' fees and costs). Uninhabitable conditions may entitle you to sue your landlord.
- Employment Discrimination: Unlawful workplace discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, age, color, religion, disability, pregnancy or national origin.
- Wrongful Termination: You can't be fired for refusing the sexual advances of an employer or supervisor, nor can you be fired for blowing the whistle on improper workplace conduct.
- Civil Rights: Civil and political rights are a class of rights and freedoms that protect individuals from the government and state power and assure the ability to participate in the civil and political life of the state.
- Consumer Rights: Consumer rights laws in California protect consumers of goods and services from deceptive, fraudulent, and unfair business practices.

We don't represent large corporations, banks or insurance companies. We represent people: victims of civil injustice; employees who suffer illegal discrimination, harassment or termination; tenants mistreated by landlords; and consumers who have been tricked and defrauded in the marketplace.
