The Law Offices of James V. Sansone represents clients throughout Northern California in disputes between landlords and tenants. Attorney Sansone provides effective legal counsel for property managers and renters in cases involving violations of lease and rental agreements, maintenance issues, and actions for unlawful detainer/evictions.
Attorney Sansone has represented many landlords and tenants in commercial and residential unlawful detainer disputes. An unlawful detainer lawsuit is a "summary" court procedure. This means that the court action moves forward very quickly, and that the time given the tenant to respond during the lawsuit is very short. For example, in most cases, the tenant has only five days to file a written response to the lawsuit after being served with a copy of the landlord's complaint. Normally, a judge will hear and decide the case within 20 days after the tenant files an answer.
Since an unlawful detainer is a summary proceeding it is a minefield for the unwary and such actions require an experienced attorney to handle them. Unlike most areas of the law, failure to strictly comply with all aspects of the rules and regulations regarding an action for unlawful detainer will result in a failed eviction. Attorney Sansone's aggressive litigation style has helped landlords evict even the most stubborn tenants.
