THE EVICTION PROCESS

When you fax or email (or hand-deliver) an expired Demand Notice to our office, we will contact you promptly to verify receipt, confirm information, and inform you of the court return date. In almost all cases, your court date will be the following week. Please call us for exact filing deadlines. As we immediately begin preparation of the eviction case, our flat rate charge is incurred at the time you fax or email us the demand notice for the eviction case. We will prepare and serve a Summons and Complaint on the tenants and an attorney will appear on your behalf the following week for the return date. At the initial court appearance, we will take a default possession judgment, negotiate a settlement with the tenants, or if an Answer is filed, set the matter for a trial the following week. If the matter proceeds to trial, you will need to provide us with a witness at trial along with a copy of your lease, rent ledger and other relevant documents. At the trial, one of our attorneys will appear, attempt to negotiate a settlement, and, if unable to do so, conduct the trial.
