Can anyone recommend a 'Nasty' Eviction Attorney?

Question

Hi,

I had a real jerk as an eviction attorney a couple of years ago when I had some rental properties in Minneapolis. I could just have him call my bad tenants and they would pay up within a week. I have no idea what he said to them. He was even a jerk to me. Unfortunately he passed away 2 years ago.

Now I have some friends who are in need of someone like that. Anyone have any recommendations? We're in Arizona but I don't know if location is all that important.

Thanks!

Depends so much on the state. An eviction here in Georgia is typically about 10 to 20 days. ie, if someone doesn't pay their rent, they'll be out before that month ends. I just file my own. Fill out a one page form and the magistrate court takes it from there. If the tenant doesn't file an answer, it defaults after the 7 days they have to do that. If they do file an answer, it goes to court but it's sort of a "Did you pay the rents due?" It's a yes or no question. The "why" really isn't a factor. So a nasty attorney may not be required.

@Hal Cranmer Dr. Evictor is by far the leading Eviction attorney in Arizona. They are based in Phoenix and have a very solid record of success. They are extremely knowledgeable regarding any moratoriums restrictions, they know the statutes, know many of the judges and courts. I use them as needed and find them affordable and effective, haven't lost one yet!

Hah! Hal, I good a great belly laugh from this one. I definitely appreciate working with strong, bold and aggressive people who look after my well being- especially when they make things easier for me. I'll keep my ears and eyes open for an aggressive/effective landlord attorney. My clients and I haven't needed one, yet- but it's just a matter of time. If I hear of someone great, I'll pass it along.

In the meantime, while we don't have direct experience with them, I was told by another Sedona realtor that Cronus Law in Phoenix is good. But- I haven't verified.

Good luck.

Thanks Ray. I would totally follow your advice but I don't currently have any rental properties. I was telling a family in my assisted living home about this nasty attorney I had and they asked me for his number. Since he passed away I am looking for another recommendation. Thanks anyway!

I don't have a nasty eviction attorney, but my property manager is pretty good. I had a tenant who didn't pay. By the 2nd week, an eviction was filed and a court date was set. Two weeks later, the tenant left and wanted to avoid going to court. If possible, you may want to file your own eviction. My property manager is not a lawyer, but she's filed evictions and has attended court sessions on her own. She's won 9/10 cases. It may be different in your state or county. Some states are very easy to file evictions.
