Eviction & Unlawful Detainer Defense

Facing eviction is not just about losing possession—it’s about leverage, timing, and rights. At Hamilton Law, Ltd., we defend unlawful detainer cases with the mindset of trial lawyers, not eviction mills.

We represent residential and commercial tenants, including long-term business operators, in high-stakes eviction matters where more than rent is at issue.

We Do More Than File Answers

When appropriate, we pursue:

• Emergency TROs and injunctions to stop evictions

• Declaratory relief to challenge lease vs. license claims

• Retaliation and bad-faith defenses

• Code and legality violations undermining eviction claims

• Coordination or abatement when civil cases are pending

If eviction would cause irreparable harm, courts can—and do—step in. We know how to ask.

Commercial Tenants: You Have More Rights Than You’re Told

Landlords often mislabel tenancies to fast-track eviction. Long-term possession, exclusive use, deposits, and the landlord’s own conduct matter. We challenge shortcuts designed to avoid accountability.

Act Early. Options Disappear Fast.

Unlawful Detainers move quickly. The earlier you act, the more tools are available—including stopping the eviction before it gains momentum.
