Understanding the eviction process helps you know when and how to fight back:
Landlord serves a 3-day, 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day notice. Many notices have defects that can stop the eviction.
If you don't leave, landlord files a lawsuit. You'll be served with court papers. You have 5 days to respond.
We help you file a legal response raising all available defenses. Missing this deadline means automatic loss.
Cases go to trial within 20 days. Many cases settle with favorable terms for tenants who have representation.
