Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speeking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

Question:
What’s important to know as a landlord if my tenant stops paying rent?
Answer:
If your tenant stops paying rent and you have a written lease, the first thing you need to do is check the terms of the lease to determine whether you’ve provided a grace period.
Typically, I’ve seen grace periods for failure to pay rent of five days. After those five days, you need to prepare a demand for payment of rent and serve that on your tenant. Following the demand and failure to pay, you must post what’s called a “notice to quit” on the door of the unit. Alternatively, you can hand-deliver the notice to the tenant.
If the tenant hasn’t paid you what they owe and vacated after you’ve followed these steps, you’ll need to file a civil complaint seeking rent and possession of the property.
