Evicting a tenant in California requires strict compliance with legal procedures. A small mistake in a notice or court form can delay your case. At TrustPoint Disability & Legal Services LLC, we provide legal document preparation services to landlords in San Jose who need accurate eviction paperwork prepared quickly. We are Legal Document Assistants (LDAs), not attorneys. We do not represent landlords in court or give legal advice, but we prepare the required unlawful detainer forms and notices under your direction. Many landlords searching for legal document assistant near me rely on us for fast, affordable, and compliant support.

3-Day, 30-Day, and 60-Day Notices

The type of notice you serve depends on the reason for eviction. A 3-day notice is used for unpaid rent or serious lease violations, while 30-day and 60-day notices apply to no-fault terminations, depending on the tenant’s length of stay. We prepare the correct notice tailored to your situation, ensuring all required language and legal timelines are followed in Santa Clara County.

Filing an Unlawful Detainer in California

Once the notice period expires, the next step is filing an unlawful detainer lawsuit. We draft the summons, complaint, and supporting attachments for landlords in San Jose. Our team ensures your filing is complete and ready for court submission, avoiding delays caused by missing forms or incorrect formatting. We also provide step-by-step guidance so you understand what happens after filing.

Using an Eviction Process Server

California law requires that tenants be properly served with eviction paperwork. We coordinate with professional process servers in San Jose to deliver notices and complaints legally and on time. Proper service ensures your case is not challenged or dismissed. We also prepare proof of service documents so the court accepts your filing without issue.

Required Attachments

Eviction cases often require lease agreements, notices, and payment records as attachments. We organize and prepare these exhibits to support your unlawful detainer complaint. Having a complete packet makes your case stronger and prevents unnecessary continuances.

Timeline from Notice to Writ

Eviction timelines vary, but most cases in Santa Clara County take 30–45 days from the notice to obtaining a writ of possession. We provide landlords with a clear roadmap so you know what to expect, from notice service to sheriff lockout.
