Howard Law represents property owners, investors, lenders, and management companies in residential and commercial eviction matters. We also handle ejectment actions and unlawful detainer cases involving occupants without a lease or legal right to remain in the property.
How long does the eviction process usually take in Florida?
Timelines vary based on the type of occupancy, the county, and whether the case is contested. Some matters resolve in a few weeks, while contested cases may take longer. Our team reviews your situation and provides a clear, realistic timeline based on the specific facts.
Do I need an attorney to file an eviction?
While individuals may file simple evictions on their own, working with an attorney ensures the process is handled correctly and reduces delays. Howard Law prepares all notices, filings, and pleadings, represents you in court, and helps you avoid errors that could prolong the case.
