The Law Offices of Serros & Bauman 600 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA 94610

"Erik Bauman offered me an excellent free consultation when I was recently struggling trying to figure out my legal rights with a forced eviction during Covid-19. He provided me with advice that really calmed my mind, and helped me move forward during one of the most stressful times in my life. Can't say enough how much I appreciate his service, timeliness and thoroughness."

"Erik was incredibly helpful with my issue, and helped me resolve it without litigating. I highly recommend his practical, human-first approach!"

"Erik Bauman is a no nonsense attorney, respectful and reliable, well educated in tenants rights! Would highly recommend."

"I suddenly received from my landlord of 28 years an eviction notice for my Berkeley rent controlled apartment. There were several free legal sources who offered to take my case, but I opted to retain a lawyer as I wanted a personal representative at the time of the hearing, and I wanted to retain a lawyer for future dealings with this landlord afterward. I retained Erik Bauman at the Office of Andrew Serros. He came recommended by the East Bay Law Center. Erik is young, but smart. He did not promise I would win, but he did assure me along with the other legal sources, I had a strong case. Erik put together a handsome portfolio for the hearing from materials I gave him. He was helpful during the hearing at the Berkeley Rent Board. And we did win. I retained Erik afterwards to be my legal representative from this point on while I am in this rent controlled apartment. Although my case was pretty straightforward, I think Erik handled everything professionally and efficiently. I would trust him with a more complicated case. I was happy with my dealing with Erik and the Serros Law Firm."
