Hello Tom:
It does seem that my posting has drilled some of the members
passions for lawyers. I do know something about landlord-tenant law.
However, I do not practice it much in that in NC it is mostly a small
claims action and in SC it is in the Magistrates or Masters in Equity
court.
If a person has an eviction that may be appealed, it is best to use
an attorney, otherwise for most evictions, avoid an attorney. While
I do not give legal advise over the internet and cannot to any anyone
not having property in NC or SC, you can e-mail me and maybe I can give
you general advice.
