Additional Comments

I have read the following:

Fees and Structures, Required Documentation, and the Submission statement. They can be found below the submit button.

Fees Structure and Process

Our fees associated with an "ordinary' residential eviction case are incurred at specific points in the process and the fees incurred at each of the tiers include attorney fees, and applicable filing and sheriff fees.

1. Pre-default. This is the first step in initiating your complaint. This fee includes the preparation of court required documents filing and servicefees. If your tenant vacates or you accept payment for any portion of past due rent after the documents have been prepared, you remain responsible for the entire fee.

2. Tenant Response to Summons: The tenant has five (5) days to reply to the complaint after personal service.

Uncontested- If the tenant does not reply within the five (5) days, after personal service of the complaint, the case is "uncontested" and a "default" judgment for the landlord for 'possession only' is requested. This fee is incurred at the time of our submission of documents required by the court for a default judgment as well as payment of required filing and sheriff's fees. If you recover possession of the premises prior to the actual "lockout", upon your request , and payment of applicable fees, we will will request the entry of a money collection, and an Abstract of Judgment.
Contested- If the tenant responds to the complaint, a trial is then requested and a trial date is set by the court. An attorney will appear at trial. Attendance at trial by a witness on behalf of the landlord is also required.
