How We Reclaim Your Property

We handle every step — you can attend court or not.

DAY 1

Notice Period

We draft your 5-day notice to comply with all Chicago requirements, then coordinate proper legal service.

DAY 10

Filing & Summons

E-filing, summons, and all documentation prepared correctly. No rejected filings. No procedural delays.

DAY 45

Settlement Push

We schedule rental assistance meetings and negotiate aggressively. Many cases settle here in 8-12 weeks.

DAY 90

Trial Preparation

If tenant stalls, we force them to trial. Full preparation included — this is where hourly billing gets expensive.

DAY 150

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.

Clear Answers to Your Eviction Questions

Frequently asked questions from Chicago landlords

What if my tenant gets an attorney?
Same flat fee. Tenant attorneys often file more motions and request more hearings. With hourly billing, that means higher costs for you. Our flat fee doesn't change regardless of how hard the tenant fights.
What if my case goes to trial?
Same flat fee. Trial preparation, trial day, and post-trial motions are all included. This is where our flat fee model creates the most value for landlords.
What if my tenant has been there 3+ years?
Chicago's Fair Notice Ordinance requires 120 days notice for tenants of 3+ years. We handle this properly — many attorneys miss this requirement, causing case dismissal and complete restart.
Can I recover back rent through the eviction?
Yes. We file for both possession and monetary judgment. We secure about $500,000 in back rent judgments for clients every year. While full collection isn't guaranteed, having the judgment provides legal recourse.
Do you handle Section 8 evictions?
Absolutely. Section 8 requires additional CHA notices and specific procedures. This specialized handling is included in your flat fee — no additional charges.
What if I already started the eviction myself?
We can take over at any stage. If errors were made, we'll correct them. Better to invest $1,600 now than restart the entire 150-day trial process due to procedural mistakes.
How long will this take?
Contested Chicago evictions typically take around 150 days. Some cases settle much faster through negotiation — we've resolved cases in as little as 8 weeks. We can't control the court's schedule, but we can control how aggressively we pursue your case.
How do you keep costs fixed with unpredictable court proceedings?
We handle 150+ evictions annually. We know exactly what to expect and have priced accordingly. Whether it takes 5 court appearances or 15, your fee remains $1,600. I don't expect to make money on every case.
What if my tenant files for rental assistance?
Rental assistance can actually help resolve your case. If approved, you get paid and the tenant gets time to relocate. We navigate this process with you.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes! If we can get your tenant to move out with less work, even parts of the flat fee are refundable. We refund $950.00 if they move out before the first court date or $600.00 before the second.

Not sure if you have grounds for eviction? We'll tell you honestly.
