Practice Areas
Landlord, Tenant, Unlawful Detainer, Eviction Law
An eviction can devastate credit and block future housing - but not every eviction is proper. Agreeable transitions can reduce burdens and costs - but sometimes litigation is needed to vindicate important rights. You have to act very fast - just a very few days from receipt of Summons. We help protect current and future housing rights, while working to achieve fair results.
Family Law: Separation & Divorce
