What Does an Eviction Attorney Do?
There are strict rules you must follow to evict a tenant successfully and legally. Failure to do so can result in a ruling against you and/or the outright dismissal of your case. An eviction attorney ensures that your documentation and paperwork is filled out correctly, filed correctly and by the mandatory deadlines, and represents your best interest in negotiations and litigation for all manner of landlord/tenant issues.
Wagner & Weeks Landlord Services also provides debt and judgment collection services. We treat both clients and debtors with respect and dignity, striving to reach a resolution with the least amount of conflict possible. We secure your property and what is owed to you.
Do I Need an Attorney for an Unlawful Detainer?
Having experienced legal counsel on your side is always a smart idea. Not only do we know and understand state and federal laws and regulations, but we are often able to secure a resolution for our clients more easily than if they try to obtain that same outcome on their own. Contact us today if:
- Your tenant has defaulted on rent or other lease obligations
- Your tenant has filed for bankruptcy
- Your tenant has become a nuisance or threat to others
- Your tenant has abandoned the premises, owing significant back rent and/or other fees
