Landlord-Tenant Lawyers
Attorneys who handle landlord-tenant matters in Philadelphia and have agreed to be listed here. Found a problem in a property's record — an expired license, open violations, a lockout threat? A lawyer can tell you what to do with it.
How to read this list. 4PHILLY is an independent, non-governmental tool and is not a lawyer referral service. Each attorney is reviewed before being added and has agreed to be listed. A listing is not a ranking, an endorsement, or a guarantee of any result, and contacting a lawyer does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Don't email confidential details or documents until the attorney has confirmed they represent you. This page is legal information, not legal advice.

Before you call
- Have the address or OPA number ready, and what you want to know — a lookup on 4philly.net gives you the rental license status, L&I violations, and 311 history to describe.
- Ask about fees up front. Whether the first conversation is free, and how the attorney is paid, differs by lawyer and by case.
- Don't stop paying rent on your own. Even where a license has lapsed, withholding rent without advice can lead to eviction. See what an unlicensed landlord can and can't do.
- Check any lawyer's license with the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board before you hire.
