About Bijan

Legal Counsel Backed by Real Estate Experience

Bijan Shakibkoo is a California attorney who represents landlords, property owners, and property management companies in evictions, tenant lawsuit defense, and real estate litigation, along with the business and commercial transactions tied to their properties.

Before becoming an attorney, Bijan spent more than 15 years managing and developing over $100 million in real estate assets. This firsthand industry experience gives him a practical understanding of the challenges property owners, investors, developers, landlords, and business owners face every day.

Today, he combines that real-world knowledge with legal expertise to help clients structure transactions, resolve disputes, negotiate agreements, and protect their investments.

Much of his work today involves defending owners and property management companies after a tenant files suit, including habitability and mold claims, retaliation and wrongful eviction cases, and harassment claims under the Los Angeles Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance. He has handled these matters from the initial demand letter through trial.

He also acts as outside counsel for property management companies, advising on notices, rent ordinance compliance, and tenant disputes across their portfolios, and defending the company when it is named in a lawsuit alongside the owner.

Trusted by Clients.
Committed to Results.

I had an excellent experience working with Bijan at SNS Law Group. From our very first consultation, Bijan demonstrated professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and genuine care for my situation. He took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt confident and informed throughout. What stood out most was Bijan’s responsiveness and dedication — he was always available when I needed guidance and went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. It’s rare to find an attorney who combines such sharp expertise with sincere compassion, but Bijan truly does. I highly recommend Bijan and the entire SNS Law Group team to anyone seeking reliable, results-driven, and client-focused legal representation.

I am gladly giving SNS Law Firm a 5-star review for their outstanding work on my case. Khusboo, Edrin, and Bijan went above and beyond from start to finish. They were patient, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable about the laws related to my case, taking the time to explain every step of the process clearly and thoughtfully. They truly understood my needs and my situation, and they fought tirelessly on my behalf to secure the highest possible settlement — and did it in the shortest amount of time. What impressed me even more is that my case was very similar to my neighbors’, who are still fighting in court with another firm, while SNS Law Firm got my settlement months ago. Their professionalism, communication, and dedication made all the difference. They genuinely care about their clients and it shows in how hard they work. I highly recommend SNS Law Firm to anyone who wants a legal team that fights for you and delivers real results.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cases does Bijan handle?

He represents landlords, property owners, and property management companies, as well as investors, businesses, and individuals in a wide range of real estate and business matters.

Does Bijan represent landlords?

Yes. Bijan regularly represents landlords and property owners in matters such as lease disputes, unlawful detainers (evictions), habitability claims, and security deposit disputes.

Can Bijan assist with business litigation?

Yes. Bijan helps businesses and business owners with disputes such as breach of contract claims, partnership disagreements, and commercial lease conflicts.

How do I schedule a consultation?

Call our office at 424-220-2052 or use the contact form on our website, and our team will set up a time to discuss your matter with Bijan.

I was just served with a tenant lawsuit. What should I do?

Avoid contacting the tenant or their attorney, and hold off on repairs or other steps until you have spoken with counsel. Forward the complaint to Bijan and notify your insurance carrier right away. Many landlord policies cover habitability and injury claims, and a delayed notice can put that coverage at risk.

Can I evict a tenant after they file a complaint or lawsuit?

In some cases, yes, but timing is critical. California law presumes retaliation for six months after a tenant complaint, and any notice served in that window can become evidence against you. Bijan helps owners plan the sequence so the eviction does not create new liability.

Does Bijan represent property management companies?

Yes. Management companies are frequently named alongside owners in tenant lawsuits. Bijan advises them on notices, ordinance compliance, and tenant disputes, and defends them in litigation across the properties they manage.
