Looking for an attorney in GR to help recover unpaid rent and fee for garbage removal

[JehuVirginie Dongmo]

I am looking for a real estate attorney to represent me in Grand Rapids for tenant who moved out recently after not paying the rent for 2 months, and after she moved out, I realized that the apartment was more than a garbage dump. I have to rent a dumpster, pay for people to remove all the trash from the apartment. Now I do need help finding an attorney who can help me recover all the expenses and the unpaid rent. 

thank you in advance

I do not know the details of your specific situation (amounts owed, class of property, etc.), but, in my experience, it wastes time and money. You could take them to small claims court and get a judgment, which is great, but let's be honest: if someone does not pay rent for the property they are living in, do you think they will pay a judgment off? They will wait 7 years for it to fall off their record. In the meantime, they will apply for credit, apartments, and utilities through someone else's name.
