For various reasons, many people would like to manage their eviction without a lawyer.
The question is, is it possible? Can you file for an eviction without a lawyer?
The answer is, yes, you can. There is no requirement to hire a lawyer to file for an eviction. What’s more, the process of filing for an eviction is simpler than most people imagine.
At the heart of the eviction process is a package of eviction forms to be completed and then filed with your County Court. Filing these forms officially sets the eviction in motion and provides the County Court with the information needed to process and finalize your eviction.
There is no legal requirement or need for the person who completes these eviction forms to be an eviction lawyer and many people are now turning to mediators and paralegals to assist them with this process. The forms can be completed and filed by the person(s) seeking an eviction, with the assistance of a paralegal or mediator. All the court is concerned with is that all the required forms are filed and have been completed correctly.
The exact eviction forms to be completed will vary from state to state. This is where evicting without the assistance of a paralegal, mediator or lawyer can be potential hazard so you should seek the help of a paralegal or mediator if you do not want spend the high price that goes along with the hiring of an attorney.
Please keep in mind that filing an eviction is a serious step that can easily warrant the need for an attorney so if you believe that you require the assistance of an attorney you should certainly explore that option.
