Extensive experience on both the landlord and tenant's side of eviction disputes in invaluable, but it can be challenging to find among business and real estate lawyers.  Danialle Riggins is a dynamic negotiator and proven trial lawyer prepared to make a difference in your operating efficiency and your ability to focus on your cure operations.  We can assist on notices, lease drafting and enforcement(s), amendments  to litigation drafting.  We can handle your legal eviction from start to finish or only assist with a hearing or two.

We help you understand the difference between an eviction and an unlawful detainer and from an ejectment.

Ejectment

What do you do when there is people who are not  tenants lawfully living on your property and law enforcement cannot not  help.  If the people are claiming that they have rights or interest in  the real property but you know that is not correct or the whole picture,  ejectment is possibly your only solution.

Ejectment is your legal option when there is  not a note/mortgage in place and no landlord/tenant relationship ever  existed. Ejectment is civil ligation to remove non-tenants and  non-owners from a property.

Foreclosure

Riggins Law Firm provides homeowners with a  rapid review of their case and an explanation of their potential  options. There are various possible foreclosure defenses, which can be  raised in court. In order to identify which foreclosure defenses are  appropriate in your specific case, we need to evaluate your case.  It is  never to early to speak with an attorney about your options but it can  be too late.
