Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
I sued my previous landlord in small claims court and was the prevailing party, my judgement was for $3000.00. The landlord appealed it and the case was reviewed by another judge (without new hearing) and that judge ruled the same as the first. The landlord appealed again and the case was sent to superior court (where I believe he has a "friend")The case was reheard and although I still prevailed my judgement was reduced down to $670.00. I was not given any explaination as to why it was reduced so much or even how the amount was calculated. I believe there is some illegal explaination! What are my options at this point? I represented myself the whole way through because I couldn't afford an attorney, where could I find legal help for little or no upfront cost? Im in Stockton, CA

San Joaquin County has at least one tenants rights organization. Look online or in the yellow pages. You are entitled to a statement of decision and to appeal, but your window of time to demand the statement of decision is short, and may already be gone. You need to move fast.
