Where can you find a lawyer that deals with evictions?

An experienced landlord-tenant attorney is the most appropriate form of council for tenants facing eviction, notes Ken LaMance, Attorney at Law and Legal Match contributor. Relevant attorneys can be found by scanning the local yellow pages, searching Nolo's Lawyer Directory or contacting the state bar association.

Landlord-tenant law is very complex and constantly changing; an experienced attorney can help identify the law that applies to unique situation, review the terms of the lease and help the tenant understand their legal duties and responsibilities -and possibly avoid the eviction altogether.

Tenants that feel the eviction may be discriminatory are advised to contact a government agency, according to Nolo.
