Douglas J Tate

Douglas has handled hundreds of Landlord Tenant cases in Buncombe and surrounding counties. Douglas primarily works with landlords attempting to collect rent or evicting tenants for failure to live up to the covenants in their lease. Douglas regularly teaches seminars in Landlord-Tenant law to help landlords prevent problems before they arise.

He also helped obtain a writ of possession to sell $200,000 worth of property after a local sheriff's office seized the property from a member of the Patriot Network, a movement of people who refuse to pay income tax. And he helped get a $90,000 civil-rights lawsuit against the McDowell County Sheriffs Department (which developed out of an alleged affair between the plaintiff and a deputy) dismissed by a federal judge.
