Location check
Eviction rules vary across Los Angeles County by city, unincorporated area, and property type. The firm accepts matters in selected communities, not every city or unincorporated area.

Local practice
Steven D. Silverstein has represented Southern California landlords since 1979. In Los Angeles County, the property address determines which city or county rules must be checked before a notice is served or a case is filed.
Local requirements can change the case. Some communities add rent stabilization, just-cause, notice-filing, registration, or relocation rules. Starting with the location helps identify the right requirements and lets us confirm whether we handle evictions there.
The practical first step is simple: identify the property location before choosing the notice or estimating the timeline.
Process
Proper service of a legally compliant notice is essential for LA County evictions. We ensure all notices meet state requirements and any local ordinances specific to your city.
After notice periods expire, we file the unlawful detainer lawsuit at the appropriate LA County courthouse, preparing all documentation to meet strict LA County court standards.
Our professional process servers ensure proper service according to LA County court requirements, documenting all attempts to prevent service-related delays.
If the tenant fails to respond, we obtain a default judgment. If contested, we aggressively represent you in LA County eviction court.
After judgment, we promptly secure a Writ of Possession and coordinate with the LA County Sheriff to schedule the lockout and return your property.
