Why timing matters
Real estate matters can move fast — an eviction (unlawful detainer) gives only a few days to respond, mechanic's liens have strict filing deadlines, and contract and dispute deadlines add up. The sooner a participating firm can review your situation, the more options may be available. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
