How We Reclaim Your Property
We handle every step — you can attend court or not.
Notice Period
We draft your 5-day notice to comply with all Chicago requirements, then coordinate proper legal service.
Filing & Summons
E-filing, summons, and all documentation prepared correctly. No rejected filings. No procedural delays.
Settlement Push
We schedule rental assistance meetings and negotiate aggressively. Many cases settle here in 8-12 weeks.
Trial Preparation
If tenant stalls, we force them to trial. Full preparation included — this is where hourly billing gets expensive.
Judgment & Possession
Once we obtain judgment, the sheriff can execute the eviction order. Property returned to you.
Aggressive Negotiation
We don't wait for trial. We leverage eviction records and credit damage as pressure — some cases settle in just 8 weeks.
Back Rent Recovery
We pursue judgment for all money owed — not just possession. About $500,000 in back rent judgments secured yearly.
Professional Pressure
When tenants see our firm's name on the filing and our demand letters, that's when they start cooperating. We're not afraid to go to trial.
