Tenant Evictions
Illinois evictions attorney Mary Brady from Guthrie & Brady has the proven track record in handling all types of eviction cases, with speed and efficiency. She has filed over 100 evictions and understands that although each case has its own unique circumstances, the all move forward quickly.
An eviction action is a quick, detailed process. The Illinois Statute requirements must be strictly adhered too; otherwise the Judge may dismiss your case.
To start an eviction you will need the following
- » A copy of the lease
- » A copy of the five day notice
- » An accounting of exactly how much rent is past due
Cook County has a filing fee of $219.00 per case if the amount owed is less than $15,000.00. The Sheriff of Cook County charges approximately $60 to serve one tenant and $110 to serve a tenant and the other unknown occupants.
Once we have received the information and the court costs upfront we will open your case by:
- » Prepare the legal Complaint and Sheriff’s summons for trial
- » File the eviction with the Court Pay the sheriff to serve the tenant(s) with the complaint and summons
We charge $350 for attorney’s fees plus court filing fees to file your case and represent you in court two times. Any additional court appearances are $l50.00 each court appearance.
I want to get the eviction done as quickly as possible and usually successful in getting a judgment in either one or two court appearances.
