Need a Legal Referral for an Eviction in York County
Does anyone have referral for a lawyer for an eviction in York County, Maine? I have a property in Berwick and need to evict a tenant. Not exactly straightforward either. Constant nuisance tenant that is causing issues with the other tenants, the property manager, and contractors. Section 8 pays 100% of the rent, so they have never missed a payment. They need to go and I need to find a lawyer to take care of it for me. Anyone have any good luck and can refer someone to me? Thanks!

@Matt Leonard - Have you tried talking to the tenants case worker? They have to follow certain rules to be able to receive section 8 and if they don't follow them can lose their eligibility. You can ask them to also move the tenant from your apartment because of the disruptions with other tenants and personnel.
I think it would be worth a try and save you the expense of a lawyer.
