criminal law

landlord tenant
The Chicagoland area is one of the largest real estate rental markets in the U.S. Out of this, there are landlords owning one property or landlords that own 600 units in a high rise. Regardless of the size of a landlord’s rental portfolio, if they want to have a tenant removed from a unit, they must go through the formal eviction process. Cook County and Chicago have there own very specific rules that must be followed in order for an eviction matter to proceed. If any of the necessary requirements is not met, then an eviction matter can be dismissed and the landlord must start over. On average, it can take approximately six months for an eviction case to be concluded, which is why it is more imperative than ever to do things correct the first time. Paul has represented both small and large landlords, property management companies and condo associations In Cook County, Chicago, and the surrounding areas. His expertise in landlord tenant matters, not only in evictions but also lease negotiation and drafting makes him an invaluable asset in all landlord tenant matters.
