Ejectments without a Lawyer

[Steve A Spann]

Could anybody share insight if it would be foolish to try and do an ejectment on your own without a lawyer? This property is in Pennsylvania...thank you

Well I lived in Upstate New York and was an investor there of multi-family dwellings. I did my own evictions without a lawyer and was successful each time. Now that I am living in Virginia, I will be doing my first eviction in court on January 7. Tag me and I will let you know what happens. 

However, I have an investor living in Texas with a two family dwelling I sold him here in Virginia. A tenant in his property stopped paying rent 2 months now. He asked me to represent him in court .I filed the proper paperwork showing I am representing him. On January 7th at 9 AM in court room 3 I will be in front of the judge pleading my case. We'll see what happens then.
