You are responsible for effective communication with the sheriff’s office and deputy for the execution of the writ of possession.

For additional causes of action, we charge $100 per additional cause of action include in the eviction complaint. For example, if the eviction includes one count for non-payment of rent and an additional count for termination of month-to-month tenancy, the additional fee applies.
    2. Contested. If the eviction action becomes contested, you understand and agree that we charge our standard hourly rates to handle the contested portion of the action, including but not limited, contested court hearings, final hearing, discovery (if applicable, e.g. depositions, requests for production, interrogatories), motions (except that Motion for Default Judgment is included in free eviction service).

If our representation requires that we travel outside of our local area (Escambia and Santa Rosa County), travel fees may apply, including mileage and travel time (billed at one-half our standard hourly fee) and if airline tickets are most cost beneficial, the cost of airline tickets and hotel accommodation. We will notify you of the anticipated cost of travel.

If we decline to or cannot engage in providing the free eviction service that you’ve requested under your service plan, you are entitled to a refund of $350 at the end of the term of service, unless the reason for our declination of service is based on the grounds that you had no cause of action to file an eviction and/or there was not a good faith basis to file the action and/or we had a conflict of interest.
