Assistance with Tenant & Eviction

Posted by

We contacted Mr. Wayne's office regarding evicting a non paying tenant who refused to leave a property we manage. Within a few weeks, we were in front of the judge and Richard was able to get this guy out and return possession of our property. I appreciated his office keeping us in the loop every step of the way.

I've known Richard for years, as our law practices are very similar, and we run in the same "legal circles". He is, like me, a passionate and knowledgeable advocate for individuals seeking help fighting banks and other bad actors in the mortgage industry.

John Dugan, Real estate Attorney on Jul 9, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I've had several cases where Richard was opposing counsel and he's always been extremely professional, and has always been an wonderful advocate for his client.

Philip Hasty, Foreclosure Attorney on Jul 2, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have worked with Richard on several cases where I represented the lender and he represented the borrower. He is a good advocate for his clients and he is honest and civil with his opponents. Richard doesn't invent false issues in foreclosure cases. He knows foreclosure laws and it is a pleasure to work with him because of his knowledge and his integrity.
