About us: Our firm is small but mighty. We exclusively represent landlords in evictions, fighting back against an oppressive legal system that favors only one side, city funded tenant lawyers that represent our opponents at no cost, hostile courtrooms, and an endless delays due to a congested legal system. We practice evictions differently than the typical volume-based eviction firm (we all know who they are). Our practice is low-volume, result oriented, with an emphasis on being trial-ready on the first hearing.
If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, please reach out to us asap.
