Evictions
New Jersey Eviction Attorneys
Decisive eviction representation across every New Jersey county — from non-payment summonses to complex holdover and cause-based actions.
Our Approach
Moving quickly to recover your property.
Non-paying tenants cost you time and money. We initiate eviction promptly and prosecute each step with the precision the court requires — proper notices, properly pleaded complaints, and clean service of process.
We have filed tens of thousands of evictions in New Jersey. That volume gives our clients predictable timelines, predictable costs, and a team that knows every Landlord/Tenant courtroom in the state.
- Statewide filing and appearances
- Non-payment & holdover actions
- Complaint drafting & service
- Warrant of removal coordination
Grounds We Handle
Every cause of action under the Anti-Eviction Act.
New Jersey requires a specific statutory cause to evict a residential tenant. We pursue the full range of grounds — non-payment, habitual late payment, disorderly conduct, lease violations, owner occupancy, and conversion — and tailor the proofs to fit each one.
Commercial evictions follow a different framework. We handle distraint, lockouts where lawful, and judgments for possession in the Special Civil Part and Law Division.
Defending the Outcome
Anticipating tenant defenses before they arise.
Habitability defenses, Marini abatements, and procedural challenges are common. We document the file from day one so the trial record supports the judgment — and so any appeal stays where it belongs.
When a settlement is the right outcome, we negotiate consent judgments with enforceable payment schedules and clear breach triggers.
- Habitability defense preparation
- Marini abatement responses
- Consent judgment negotiation
- Enforcement on breach
After Judgment
From judgment for possession to lockout.
A judgment is not possession. We coordinate with court officers on the warrant of removal, manage orders to show cause filed by tenants, and see the case through to the lockout — restoring possession of your property.
Throughout, you receive plain-English status updates and a single point of contact at the firm.
