Eviction Success

We had a tenant in Moclips that refused to leave. She had not paid rent for a year, was doing drugs, making a mess on our lot and being a nuisance in the neighborhood. We used Erik Kupka as an attorney to help us get her and her RV off our lot. It took a while with all the court proceedings and notic...es. But Erik kept us informed every step of the way and let us know what to expect. After several months, the tenant and her large RV are officially off our lot. It seems like it took a while to work through the legal system, but it is now done. Thank you, Erik !

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
