Help With Evictions

Posted by

While anyone could lose their home to eviction, it is people on Social Security disability who face this and other economic problems most. Often, getting an eviction notice is the first time many people have an encounter with the legal system. The process can be so intimidating that a lot of people do not respond to an eviction notice. If you fail to appear for the court proceedings, you are sure to lose and be evicted. Hiring a lawyer would help, but if people cannot pay their rent, they are not likely to have money for a legal representative. Legal Aid can assist, but they tend to be overwhelmed.

Escape Clause?

A New Website Offers Plenty Of Good Information

Fortunately, there is some good news on this front.  The Arizona court system has published a webpage regarding eviction. This is not a substitute for a lawyer, but it is a big boost for those people who cannot afford one. This webpage has simple explanations of the process, together with the required forms.

If you get an eviction notice and you do not have a lawyer, check out this webpage before going to see the judge. If you go to court armed with this information, you might be able to keep your home.

What’s This Now?

Tell The Judge If You Are Disabled

As always, make sure to tell the judge if you are disabled. It might not prevent your landlord from evicting you, but it could prevent that landlord from taking money from you for past due rent.

About The Author

Since 1992, I have been helping the people of Southern Arizona get the benefits they are due. Before devoting all my efforts to assisting people with Social Security disability claims, I also handled such complex lawsuits as medical malpractice and products liability. I brought to my Social Security cases all the skills and attention to detail that I developed in the courtroom. I approach each Social Security disability case as if it were a million-dollar lawsuit. For the people trying to get Social Security benefits, their claim is every bit as important. Because I have personally handled so many Social Security cases, I have refined the skills I need to win your case for you. I have helped people win cases for every kind of ailment from arthritis to valley fever. At present, I am focused on helping those persons with neurological and orthopedic disorders. Because claims for people over age fifty bring additional complications, I particularly seek out those cases to work on. I regularly write about back and spine conditions on my blog. I actively seek out the latest information about orthopedic and neurological disorders to ensure I can represent my clients as effectively as possible. Because of my current focus, I regret that I am not able to take any cases for mental disorders. If you are over age fifty and suffer from any orthopedic or neurological disorder, please contact me at once.
