About Marc Whitham

My name is Marc D. Whitham and I’m pleased to welcome you to Tenant Defenders. I am a tenants’ rights attorney that specializes in helping tenants assert and defend their renters rights. I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me directly to see if I can help you with your situation. Whether you are facing eviction, or need to know how to assert your rights as a renter, I am available to speak with you.

Many tenants mistakenly believe that they have no options when they run into a dispute with the landlord, or that they cannot afford a good lawyer.

Legal representation does make a difference, and while I cannot offer free consultations, I try to offer as much information as I can through this website to help you understand how hiring a lawyer can make a difference. So, before you to commit to paying any fees please take a look at the various pages and posts and send me a message through the contact us page. If you are working with a limited budget, then let me know what you can afford.

Assistance is available and it will make a difference. I am an experienced litigator who has helped tenants across California with a variety of different issues. I have helped tenants recover money damages, break leases, forced landlords to make needed repairs, defended against eviction, obtained cash for keys settlements, and advocated for tenants who needed to assert their rights in nearly every context imaginable.
