How Does Filing an Eviction Case work?
All eviction requests are submitted to us through our online portal, by our clients. Next, the request and supporting documents are each reviewed and approved by one of our experienced attorneys, and then, they’re processed and sent to the courthouse for filing (overnight or electronically) by our processing team.
Our Firm pays all required filing fees directly to the Courts for you, and gives you up to 30 days to pay our associated invoices.
Once you’ve completed the registration process, you will be able to log in to your account through our online portal and begin submitting and managing your eviction cases. We encourage you to manage all of your cases and make requests/ask questions of us through the Contact Us portion of our website. You’ll also want to make sure you keep an eye on your email: all case-related updates, reminders, and Invoices will come to you via email. When you do have questions, simply login and you’ll find that much of the information you need is already posted there. But if you have eviction-related legal questions, our Team of attorneys is always available to answer those questions with no additional charges – they’re a built-in part of our service to our clients.
Filing Complaints
Once you’ve submitted your case(s), it’s our turn to get to work for you:
First, our attorneys review your requests and the supporting documents. Once they’re approved, our processing team prepares the documents to start your cases with the Court.
If there’s anything we’re missing or that needs explanation, we’ll contact you for clarification.
Next, we send your Complaints / Dispossessory Warrants to the Court for filing, either overnight or electronically.
We pay all required filing and service fees to the Courts, as well, then invoice you with up to 30 days to pay.
Lastly, once the Court provides us the case number & any hearing date, we assign them to each of your cases.
By simply logging in to your account, you will have access to this updated information every step of the process.

Erin Noe
Eviction Services Manager - NC
Erin Noe is the Eviction Services Manager in Charlotte, NC, and has been with L&B since day one back in December 2013. She thinks the family-friendly environment of L&B is amazing, and so are the people in our office! Before L&B, she worked at a kennel during high school. When her kids aren’t home (which is almost never), she enjoys watching anything dark and mysterious on Netflix. A little known fact about Erin? She has been a vegetarian since she was 10, and she fosters dogs for a local rescue group.

Important Note
If contacted by the clerk of court or magistrate at any time, you MUST remind them that you are represented by an attorney.
Exception
Tooltip
The only exception for contacting the court is when scheduling the lockout with the sheriff after the Writ of possession is filed and properly served.1 Remind them to call our office
2 Let us know that they contacted you so we can follow up
Working with Courts
In North Carolina, there is a required eviction hearing.
Case Hearing Information
Once we know the date, time and location of your hearing, our Team will enter that into the system. These are usually scheduled 10 or more days after the time of filing. In some counties (or for more complex cases), someone from your property may need to attend the hearing; if so, we’ll send a reminder to you.
Case Result Updates
After our attorneys return from Court, they will update each case in the system to reflect the outcome at Court: Possession Granted, Case Dismissed, or Case Continued (if the hearing was rescheduled to a new day/time).
We help you with your trial hearing
Our legal team has your back and will help you at every step.
We take care of all upfront fees and invoice you with 30 days to pay. However, if you want to request the Writ immediately at the courthouse, please bring cash.
Finalizing Evictions
There are 2 possible outcomes:
After You Win Possession:
Click the “writ” button in your eviction processing portal. You can do this 10 days after court when the appeal waiting period is over. We’ll even send you daily reminders so you don’t forget this important last step.
If the tenant moves ouT or pays:
Click the “vacated” or “dismiss” button in your eviction processing portal. If you do this before court, we’ll submit a dismissal request on the day of court. If you do this after court, you are simply closing the loop in the software, but not the courts.
IMPORTANT NOTE for North Carolina Evictions
We do not automatically file writs on your behalf. You MUST request a writ through our online processing portal. This prevents unnecessary fees.
DO NOT DELAY in NC when requesting a writ through our system
or you could lose all progress.
Request the writ through our online system
We overnight your request to the court so it can be processed as soon as possible. We take care of all the upfront fees and invoice you with 30 days to pay.
The court will process the request
The clerk will process and forward
the writ to the sheriff. This can take
a few days.
The sheriff will contact you to schedule the lockout.
This shouldn’t take more than 7 days.
If the sheriff has not contacted you by then, please call them directly.
