Ashley Awanda Petriches

Ashley represented me in an eviction case after my landlord of 15 years sold my home the new owners refused to rent it out. I began the process in April with Legal Aid who told me after the 30 day notice my landlord would be able to file in court and that the court would give me no more than 10 days ...to get out. I did some shopping and every attorney I spoke with said the same thing- I would be evicted by the beginning of July. There was nothing they could offer me as far as strategy or solutions. I did a consult with Ashley that changed my luck around. She told me that there was a very well know supreme court ruling where people continued to pay rent after getting their notice to vacate. When the property owner kept the rent payment the court deemed they'd have to start the process over. So taking her advice I paid April's rent. The following month I paid May's. I recieved my court date for mid may and the judge dismissed it just like Ashley had said. Relieved I went to Ashley to strategize. Because I had no lease and was up to date on rent there was no real legal standing. If I tried to pay again he would just return it anyways. She told me to sit tight and wait for court paperwork. We got the 2nd notice to vacate June 9th. My landlord was shook by losing the previous case and took time to obtain counsel. We finally received our paperwork for court in July- things were now backed up and court wouldnt be until August 11th. Following Ashley's advice I requested time to find counsel at the hearing. For which the judge gave me a whopping 3 weeks. Ashley came in to my next court date and asked for just 1 more week to prepare. The judge granted her request. When we got to court the following time Ashley spent an hour negotiating with my landlord. Who would agree to no more than 7 days. However, Ashley was able to broker a full 20 days out if it. Got me out of paying for my landlords court/attorney fees AND no eviction on my record. Was able to get all my stuff out and the house cleaned by my move out date! Almost 6 months after my original eviction notice! Highly recommend
