<p class="MsoNormal">I highly recommend Evan Loeffler. He has vast experience in this area on both sides. But I believe he will tell you that a unlawful detainer can take up to eight months these days, and he prefers to bring ejectment actions instead as that
can be much faster, but it is a real problem these days. Good luck. <o:p></o:p></p>
