Eviction Order to Sheriff Lockout Timing

[Joseph Tuczak]

Hi team, unfortunately cash for keys and a few other mitigation strategies did not work and we needed to leave it to court. After several months the judge officially ordered an eviction with the cook county sheriffs office. It has been just over 2 months since the eviction was ordered (8 months all in at this point) and my attorney has been unresponsive to call, email and text (left them a google score as a request for communication). I am watching the cook county eviction log and emailed the sheriffs department with no luck. Hoping to learn any tips you may have and can help me problem solve:

Is there a clear way to understand where an eviction order is in the sheriffs department queue?

How long are your sheriff lockouts taking in Chicago once the judge has ordered?

Happy to share link and case number but figured that was sensitive to posting rules.

@Joseph Tuczak The eviction process is never easy. We've had two evictions in the last 90 days, and the sheriff is taking about 6-8 weeks to come out once they've received the eviction order. Like @John Warren said, hopefully your attorney gave the sheriff your cell phone so you get a call the day before. Otherwise continue to call and email your attorney. I would have your trash-out guy and locksmith on standby at this point, so when you get the call, they're ready to rock.
