If the tenant files an Answer to the unlawful detainer, lawsuit, we will make a request for a court trial hearing, our Team will email you the court date and time, and you will receive an automated notification email. You may hire one of our network-attorneys to represent you in court. Our team of netwowrk-attorneys charge a flat fee of around $350. You may also be contacted by your attorney a day before court to prepare and discuss any issues.
We encourage you to email your processor and with any questions and all pertinent information well before court, so that they may prepare your case thoroughly. This is especially important if you know that the tenant has issues that they intend to bring up in court.
In order to ensure that all of your cases are handled properly and to reduce the risk of errors, please direct all correspondence regarding your cases to our office.
If the Clerk of Court, tenant, or tenant’s councel contacts you by phone or mail, please email your processor at our office with any update or copies of documents received.
We are here for you and will do everything needed to help you successfully file and process your evictions. Please be sure to communicate with us so that we can do our job most effectively for you.
On the day of court, your network-attorney will meet you at the Courthouse. You will need to be on time and you will need to bring the tenant’s entire file. You’ll want to dress professionally and remember that the attorney will take care of everything and guide you through the process.
Please remember that you need to appear in court for each case that is heard. In most jurisdictions, the attorney will not be able to present the case without you present, and will therefore have to continue the case or it could be dismissed.
After court, you are often granted the opportunity to go ahead and file for a Writ of Possession immediately. This is certainly a valid option for you and we would never discourage you from doing this if you choose, but remember that you will need to bring cash or a check with you if you want to do this.
