Unlawful Detainer/Eviction Defense

We a re highly experienced eviction defense attorneys. Unlawful detainer cases move through the court system at a rapid pace, and are often highly adversarial. We zealously advocate for the rights of our clients.

We develop at the very beginning of each case a litigation strategy to meet our client’s particular needs. Although we do take a limited number of pro bono eviction defense cases each year, we do this only by agency referral or if when there is a solid basis for an affirmative lawsuit against the landlord. In most cases we require our clients pay hourly in advance.

If an unlawful detainer is filed against you, you should seek legal counsel immediately. YOU MUST FILE A PROPER RESPONSE AT THE COURT WITHIN FIVE DAYS.
