There are many technicalities that can impede the expeditious conclusion of the Nonpayment or Holdover proceeding. That is why it is best to have an experienced attorney on your side.</p> <p>Some Landlords attempt to commence litigation without the benefit of Counsel, presumably to save the cost of legal fees, which can become quite exorbitant sans a cap. The problem, however, is that the Pro Se Landlord may actually slow the case down due to his or her lack of expertise in this arena. As time is money, the loss of time in Court can possibly cost the Landlord more than the price of a qualified attorney.</p> <p>A few property owners percentage wise elect to sue a tenant without an attorney. George Karavias, Attorney At Law, offers affordable flat fees to prospective clients so that all Landlords can afford the help they need. It is bad enough you are not getting rent &ndash; at least you should have someone on your team to remedy the situation who will take on the hard work necessary to achieve a favorable result.</p> George Karavias
