At Shortell Law LLC, we believe in standing up for our clients and ensuring that their rights are protected. Today, we are glad to announce that we helped a client obtain an eviction against an extremely troublesome former tenant. 

Recently, our firm represented a client who faced a difficult situation with a former tenant. Unfortunately, this tenant not only violated the lease agreement but also displayed violent behavior, posing a serious threat to our client's safety and peace of mind. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the situation short of legal action, the tenant continued to return to the property, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty for our client.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, associate attorney Sarah Kathryn Bryan took swift action. Through her comprehensive understanding of Alaska's landlord-tenant laws and diligent preparation of evidence, she built a strong case for eviction. It was essential to not only demonstrate the tenant's breach of the lease, but also to emphasize the risk posed to our client and the community. 

In court, Ms. Bryan presented compelling evidence and arguments that ultimately led to a favorable ruling. The judge granted the eviction, issuing a writ of assistance and judgment for possession granting our client both possession of the premises and entitling our client to legal costs and attorney's fees.  This victory not only alleviated our client's concerns but also reinforced our commitment to advocating for those in vulnerable situations.
