You might be better off using an eviction service.They will be cheaper and go to court for you and handle the trashing out and serving of the eviction.You won't find an attorney getting dirty they will just shuffle papers and show up in court.In fact I have had judges rule against attorneys and enjoyed our cases much more as we were on the ball.Some attorneys feel "special" just because they hold a law license and are below par in their performance.I tell them the eviction is filed regardless of promise of payment.I tell them you can always pay at the court hearing and I can drop the case.If you don't you will get stories like I can pay you 600 and get caught up this week and then you hear stuff like I only have 300 because such and such happened.Then they get further and further behind.They need to pay me in full and go cold with the utilities,or do without internet,cell phone,cable..
