Unlawful Detainer & Eviction

The full eviction process — from the first notice through trial and lockout — handled correctly the first time.

The overview

An unlawful detainer is California’s formal eviction lawsuit, and it is unforgiving. Every notice, deadline, and filing is strictly construed, and a single defect can force you to start over and lose weeks of lost rent.

Darryl handles the entire proceeding for property owners — non-payment, lease violations, holdovers, and illegal subletting — building each case to withstand a tenant’s challenge and move to possession as fast as the court allows.

How Darryl handles it

1

Notice review or service

We confirm your notice is legally correct — or prepare and serve a compliant one so the clock starts cleanly.

2

File and serve the case

We file the unlawful detainer, arrange proper service, and respond to any answer or motion the tenant files.

3

Judgment and lockout

We take the case through settlement, trial if needed, and coordinate the sheriff lockout to regain possession.
