We are Aggressive Landlord/Tenant Negotiators
It happens. No matter how good negotiations or drafting, occasions occur when parties breached the terms of their agreements. In reality, that IS the reason you want experienced attorneys to negotiate and draft your landlord tenant agreements because they only matter if a party breaches!
You then need aggressive litigators to take that well negotiated and will drafted contract to be enforced through the court system and that requires real estate attorneys that are experienced litigators. You don’t want your divorce attorney handling your real estate matter. In Lake fashion, the attorney that handled your recent auto accident case may not be the best candidate to assist you in your addiction matter.
We invite you to view our practice section on this website that goes into more detail over our practice as litigators is what we called in Washington state unlawful detainer Arenas. But are commonly referred to as a eviction actions throughout the United States.
