Evictions

Evictions must be handled in the most dignified and efficient way possible. No one wants to be there. The landlord prefers a paying tenant and the tenant prefers to be able to pay. Untangling them as quickly and civilly as possible is the goal.

Our practice is focused on representing landlords in eviction litigation.

I have handled hundreds of evictions over more than thirty years of practice.

When you hire us to represent you, you will receive:

  • Immediate and detailed review of all notices, leases and any other matters that may affect your eviction
  • Fair and honest fee schedule based upon average time spent
  • Fast and efficient filing and prosecution of your eviction
  • Constant contact and update on the status of each eviction
  • Clear and cogent advice on each decision you must make during the course of prosecuting your case

My experience includes:

  • Representation of management companies with multiple eviction actions
  • Representation of many individual landlords with singularly important eviction actions
  • Obtaining relief from automatic bankruptcy stays to allow evictions to proceed
  • Representation of landlord in federal racial discrimination jury trial
  • Former Board Member of Lawyers’ Committee for Better Housing
  • Representation of condominium associations in money and possession judgment based on unpaid condominium assessments
