Merabi Law fights for California tenants living in unsafe conditions and for people injured through the negligence of others. We investigate the harm, confront the responsible parties, and pursue the compensation our clients deserve.
When a landlord ignores dangerous conditions, families pay the price. When a driver or property owner is careless, people get hurt. Merabi Law stands with the people who have been ignored, intimidated, or taken advantage of.
Signature practiceYour landlord had a duty to provide a safe home. Mold, leaks, pests, sewage, no heat or hot water, unsafe wiring, structural dangers, and repeated failures to repair. Merabi Law investigates what the landlord knew, when they knew it, what repairs were promised, and what was actually done.
A collision can affect far more than a vehicle. Pain, treatment, lost income, and pressure from insurers seeking to close the claim quickly and cheaply.
Wet floors, broken stairs, uneven walkways, poor lighting, missing handrails. Property owners and businesses have responsibilities when dangerous conditions create an unreasonable risk of harm.

Before founding Merabi Law, Shannon Merabi, Esq. spent much of her legal career working as in house counsel. That experience gave her practical insight into how property owners, businesses, decision makers and their representatives evaluate risk, respond to claims and protect themselves. Today she uses that knowledge to advocate for tenants and injured people.

Representative matters handled the Merabi Law way: listen, document the full scope of harm, identify who is responsible, and build pressure through focused legal advocacy.
Repeated repair requests, cosmetic patches, and a child's respiratory symptoms. The landlord and management company were held accountable.
The tenant documented every message. The retaliation stopped and the landlord answered for the conditions and the conduct.
Medical care, lost income and the real impact on daily life were established before the claim was resolved in the client's favor.
Prompt investigation preserved the evidence of how the hazard developed and who knew. The property owner was held responsible.
Every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts. Past results do not guarantee or predict future outcomes.
Merabi Law documents the full impact of the collision, communicates with insurers, gathers evidence, evaluates available coverage, and pursues compensation supported by your injuries and losses. Scroll to see how a collision is reconstructed.Watch how a collision is reconstructed.
Shannon Merabi, Esq. is the founder and principal attorney of Merabi Law, APC, a Beverly Hills law firm focused on tenant habitability and personal injury matters.
Licensed in California since 2017, Shannon has nearly a decade of legal experience and has devoted much of her career to serving as in house counsel. That background shaped the way she practices law. She understands how landlords, property owners, businesses, management teams and their representatives think when a serious claim is presented. She knows how the other side analyzes exposure, how responsibility can be minimized or delayed, and why careful documentation and strategic pressure matter.
Habitability law is more than a practice area for Shannon. A housing case is rarely just about a broken pipe or a patch of mold. It can involve a child's health, lost personal property, missed work, displacement, anxiety, and the loss of the basic security a home should provide. Clients turn to Shannon because she is direct, accessible, and deeply invested in their cases.

Ask Your QuestionA habitability case may arise when a landlord fails to maintain rental housing in a condition that satisfies applicable health and safety requirements. The strength and value of a claim depend on the facts, notice, evidence, harm, responsible parties, and available legal remedies.
Save photographs, videos, texts, emails, letters, repair requests, inspection reports, medical records, receipts, damaged property records, and a written timeline. Do not alter or destroy potential evidence.
Possibly. Later repairs do not necessarily erase the conditions that existed, the length of time they continued, or the harm they caused. An attorney must evaluate the specific facts.
Document the communication and obtain legal advice promptly. California law may protect tenants from certain retaliatory conduct, but the available claims and remedies depend on the circumstances.
No ethical attorney can promise a result before evaluating the evidence. Potential value depends on the severity and duration of the conditions or injuries, documented losses, available defendants and insurance, legal defenses, and many other factors.
Many cases resolve without trial, while others require litigation. Merabi Law prepares each matter based on its facts and discusses strategy and major decisions with the client.
As soon as reasonably possible. Deadlines apply, evidence can disappear, memories can fade, and special rules may apply to claims involving government entities or other parties.
