Choose the right starting point

The property address and county, parties to the lease or contract and court named on any papers.
Which lease, deed, notice or transaction documents should be reviewed together?
Ask who will handle the matter, what work is included, how fees and expenses are calculated, and whether the firm has agreed to protect any upcoming date. A free inquiry does not establish representation.
Use these independent resources to find contacts and published instructions. Confirm the court or agency on your own papers; a directory link does not determine jurisdiction or file a response.
Identify whether you are a tenant, landlord or owner, the property location and the notice received. Preserve the lease and written communications. State any hearing or response date printed on court papers.
Describe the property, transaction and document being questioned. Boundary, title, purchase, lease and association issues require different records; explain the result you want considered.
Before hiring a lawyer, ask how fees are calculated, whether a consultation is charged, what expenses may be separate, and when payment is due. Ask for the fee terms in writing. Sending an inquiry through this website is free; that does not establish the cost of a lawyer’s services.
Ask who will review your information, whether the firm handles this type of matter in the relevant jurisdiction, and what the next step would involve. Explain any date shown on a notice. A website inquiry does not hire a lawyer or file a court or agency response.
These examples describe inquiries, not findings that a claim is valid or that representation is available.
What document or action is being disputed, and when is a response expected?
Provide a brief factual summary. Keep financial account numbers, identity documents, medical records and other sensitive files for a secure exchange with a professional who agrees to review the matter.
