Need recommendation for attorney to file summary ejectment.

[Noureen A S.]

I need a recommendation for an attorney to start summary ejectment on my behalf in NC (I recently moved 2 states away).

I would drive back and file myself (drive is only 6.5 hrs) but I don't know how soon I would need to return to take the next step in proceedings (I've never evicted a tenant before).

I think it might be best if I get an attorney to work this out for me since I'm out of state... Please let me know your recommendations or if you think I should drive back and file the paperwork myself (how soon would I need to return?)/

Lastly, in the state of NC, do I need to notify tenant about eviction before I begin?

See also this BP topic, quick NC eviction filing primer. I don't know what county you need eviction service in. Generally attorneys will work in a limited area, like a single county. In NC, the only multi-county service I am aware of is Speedy Filer. I have used their service before, but not for about 7 years according to this post I made back then.
