Common Legal Issues in San Francisco

San Francisco's unique density, culture, and economy give rise to legal challenges you will not find anywhere else. Some of the most common matters we handle for San Francisco clients include:

Drug possession in the Tenderloin — Despite shifting enforcement policies, drug arrests remain frequent in the Tenderloin and surrounding neighborhoods, carrying serious felony and misdemeanor consequences
DUI on the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge — CHP aggressively patrols both bridges and their approach corridors; a DUI arrest on a bridge carries heightened scrutiny and complex jurisdictional issues
Bicycle and pedestrian accidents — San Francisco's steep hills, congested intersections, and heavy cycling culture lead to thousands of bike and pedestrian collisions each year, particularly along Market Street and the Embarcadero
Tourist-area theft charges — Shoplifting and petty theft arrests spike in Union Square, Fisherman's Wharf, and Pier 39; prosecutors pursue these cases aggressively to deter repeat offenses
Tech company and startup disputes — Founder disagreements, equity disputes, trade secret misappropriation, and non-compete conflicts are a constant reality in San Francisco's tech ecosystem
Rent control and eviction battles — San Francisco's rent ordinance is among the most complex in the country, and both landlords and tenants face significant legal exposure in wrongful eviction and habitability disputes
Intellectual property litigation — With thousands of startups and tech companies headquartered in the city, IP infringement claims, patent disputes, and trade secret cases are heavily litigated in both state and federal court
