Comprehensive Eviction Defense Services in Las Vegas
Evictions in Las Vegas move quickly and are governed by strict Nevada statutes that favor landlords who follow precise procedures. For tenants, even a small mistake-missing a deadline, misunderstanding a notice, or failing to appear in court-can result in losing your home. Eviction defense requires immediate action, detailed knowledge of Nevada law, and familiarity with Clark County court processes.
At MyRealEstateLawyer, we represent tenants facing eviction throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and the greater Las Vegas Valley. Our eviction defense practice focuses on identifying improper notices, procedural errors, habitability violations, and unlawful landlord conduct that may stop or delay eviction proceedings. We also help tenants negotiate payment plans or move-out timelines when appropriate.
Our practice is led by Milan Chatterjee, whose background includes litigation at leading national law firms and in-house counsel experience at a Fortune 500 company.
