Legal Support for Landlords and Creditors

 

Landlord Tenant Law

Godwin-Jones & Price, P.C. has consistently focused on the legal needs of landlords in the wider Central Virginia region.  Our tenure is built upon a foundation of experience and on the relationships we have forged with our clients, assisting them in all aspects of property management. Landlords and property managers are increasingly faced with the pressures of a demanding business – one that involves unpredictability and matters that are often time-sensitive in nature.  Since our staff is often the first point of contact our model has been to foster a pro-active, team environment so that client needs are addressed timely and in a positive manner. We also provide on-going training to all of our employees to increase their knowledge-base and which serves as a direct benefit for our clients.  As one of our staff pointed out recently we are here to provide clients information about their accounts but also help them up the learning curve of the legal process.  Inevitably, court appearances become necessary and we are there almost every day.   We are familiar with the requirements of each court and it’s our job to make we meet those requirements to get the best possible outcome for our clients.
