Civil Law

I have worked with businesses who have been accused of violating the terms of a contract. I work with landlords to help them secure an unlawful detainer (eviction notice) against a tenant who has failed to pay rent or otherwise violated the terms of a lease. I know how the courts view these types of cases and I will help you understand what you can expect, what the possible outcomes are, and help you minimize the disruption in your life which normally occurs when you are facing a civil lawsuit.

Another area where you may need help is when you are buried in debt and your creditors are threatening to take you to court. I understand there are instances including poor health, a reduction in work hours, and divorce which can have an adverse impact on your ability to meet your financial obligations. I also understand once you have fallen behind, it is difficult to get caught up. Rather than trying to fight with creditors on your own, let me help you work out a reasonable payment plan to help get your finances back on track.

When you need a skilled attorney in SW VA who works on civil matters including contract disputes, personal injury, landlord/tenant issues, or need help get creditors to stop calling you at all hours of the day, contact me, Catherine D. O’Brien and let me help.
