[WSBARP] Attorney Fees and Filing for Stay of Execution

[Douglas Scott]

Brian I cannot answer your question, but I would certainly like to see NW
Justice be more accountable to "fairness" rather than simply doing all that
they can to fight landlords.  I have had mom and pop landlords spend
thousands of dollars that they did not easily have defending evictions that
were extremely legitimate.  On one, NW Justice defended a tenant who
already had 2 prior evictions and simply bilked landlords until the sheriff
finally got sent out. Yet NW Justice defended the eviction very
aggressively and brought motions.  A line should be marked somewhere. Just
my rambling.
