EVICTION
Attorney Contact – Leslie Gleisner – lgleisner@campbellandbrannon.com
In the event the lender is the purchaser at the foreclosure sale, and the former owner continues to reside in the property or there are personal belongings remaining in the property, an eviction or dispossessory proceeding should be filed. Our staff works closely with the lender as well as the agent to ensure a timely and professional removal of the tenant(s) and/or personal belongings.
The following services are provided:
