Landlord-Tenant Attorneys in Long Beach — We File the Day Your Deadline Expires

Every day an eviction case sits unfiled is a day of rent a landlord doesn't get back.

Potier Law Group is a landlord-tenant law firm based in Long Beach, California, representing property owners, landlords, and property managers in Long Beach and the surrounding Los Angeles and Orange County area. The firm handles unlawful detainer filings, notice drafting, tenant nonpayment matters, and property manager compliance — and files the same day a legal deadline expires, such as the day a default judgment window closes, to avoid any avoidable delay in an eviction proceeding.

You'll hear back from an attorney — not an assistant — the same day.

Direct Attorney Involvement When Timing Matters


Amanda Potier, Founding Attorney

When a landlord contacts Potier Law Group with a deadline approaching, the matter is handled directly by an attorney—not routed through a call center or left solely with support staff. That direct involvement helps the firm move quickly when notices, filings, and other time-sensitive actions require immediate attention.



From the initial review through the next legal step, clients know which attorney is handling their matter and have direct access to the legal team responsible for moving it forward.

Common Questions About Evictions and Landlord-Tenant Law in California

  • How fast can I evict a tenant in California?

    The eviction timeline depends on the required notice period, the court’s schedule, and whether the tenant contests the case. Once the applicable notice period expires without resolution, we can file the unlawful detainer action without unnecessary delay. When the matter is ready for filing, our firm acts that same day.

  • What happens after a 3-day notice expires in California?

    If the tenant has not paid, corrected the issue, or moved out by the end of an applicable 3-day notice period, the landlord may be able to file an unlawful detainer action. When the requirements for filing have been met, our firm moves forward that same day.

  • Can an attorney draft my eviction notice and handle the unlawful detainer case?

    Yes. We can assist with the required notice and handle the unlawful detainer action if the tenant does not comply. Keeping both stages with one firm can also reduce the risk of avoidable delays between the notice and court filing.

  • Do you represent property management companies as well as individual landlords?

    Yes. We work with individual landlords, self-managing property owners, and property management companies with multiple properties throughout our service area.

  • How quickly can I speak with a landlord-tenant attorney at Potier Law Group?

    We respond the same day. Whether you call our Long Beach office, send an email, or submit the contact form, your inquiry receives the same prompt attention.
