Taylor Lovett is an Associate Attorney at CD LAW focused on habitability litigation and advocating for tenants facing unsafe housing conditions, housing instability, and other challenges affecting their ability to remain safely housed. Before joining CD LAW, Taylor spent three years working in legal aid, representing low-income tenants and unhoused individuals throughout Los Angeles.
Taylor earned her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, with a minor in Film Studies, from Boston University, where she was named to the Dean’s Honor List. She later earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she was also named to the Dean’s Honors List, received the Law in Action Scholarship, earned the highest grade in Equal Employment Law, and competed in moot court.
Prior to joining CD LAW, Taylor served as a Staff Attorney at Inner City Law Center, where she worked as part of a team taking a broad approach to housing instability and homelessness in Los Angeles. Her work included eviction defense, tenant harassment and discrimination matters, reasonable accommodation requests, habitability issues, public benefits, credit and debt matters, and other legal challenges affecting vulnerable individuals and families. She also previously interned with the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
One matter Taylor is particularly proud to have worked on involved coordinating with Bird Marella, which provided pro bono assistance, in a writ of mandamus matter seeking to restore a Section 8 housing voucher after a housing authority terminated the tenant’s participation in the program. Her experience in legal aid continues to inform her work at CD LAW, where she advocates for tenants and families dealing with habitability problems and housing-related disputes.
