We offer flat fee pricing for various stages of the eviction as well as discount pricing for owners of multiple units.
Commercial Evictions
Although evicting a tenant from a commercial property can be more complicated and time consuming, we can help you in keeping costs to a minimum, advising you in dealing with abandoned personal property and working to get the tenant out of your property to allow you to obtain a new tenant for the space and once again collect rents as quickly as possible.
Post-Foreclosure Evictions
Whether you have foreclosed on a residential property or commercial property, sometimes the borrowers refuse to leave. Other times you are just changing the use of the property and need to work through a transition with the current tenants. The federal government and several state legislatures have passed laws containing additional requirements that must be met when dealing with tenants both during and following a foreclosure. We have the expertise you need to be assured your goals are met and your property can be restored to you or as efficiently as possible.
Collections
It is one thing to get people out of your property and obtain a judgment, but often the biggest problem is collecting on your judgment. We can help you during your initial application process to make sure you get all of the information you need to make collections more likely later on. If you were unable to obtain some crucial information, we can help you locate it. We will aggressively pursue collection of your judgment to help you recoup your losses.
Leases and Applications
As they say “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. The best preventative medicine to avoid many pitfalls as a landlord is to have a solid lease in place from the very beginning.

Business Entities
