Lunch & Learn: What Does Your Eviction Attorney Need From You At Trial?

LEGAL LUNCH & LEARN: What Does Your Eviction Attorney Need from You at Trial?

Featuring Landlord Attorney, Christopher Overton, Managing Partner, Overton Law

If you are planning to sue your tenant, DON’T GO UNPREPARED to your day in court, otherwise it will be like pouring money and time down the drain! Go into court unprepared and your eviction case will likely be immediately tossed out by the judge due to technicality or a situation where you have been outgunned by your tenant and his or her attorney?  Don’t let this ever happen to you.

During this in-person lunch seminar, you will be given the practical advice you need to avoid wasting precious time and money and avoid real-life “Judge Judy” type horror story. Our legal expert will provide you with the advice you need to adequately get yourself ready to have your winning day in court.

During the lunch and learn session, we will also cover the following:

• Real-life court situations, how to prepare yourself, and how you can avoid making major mistakes.
• The importance of documentation starts from the minute your tenant notifies you of a problem.
• Leading up to your court date, what documents and information should you gather and review?
• Crossing the “T’s” and dotting the “I’s,” what is needed to be certain you will not be thrown out due to a technicality.
• What to expect on court day?  How to address the judge and interact with your legal counsel?
• The importance of how you portray yourself, dress, tone of speech, and, of course, never be late!
• What to bring with you to the Courthouse?
• And wait…there’s always ample time for Q&A.
