Lee and Hughes, LLC, Attorneys at Law - Mobile, AL

Authoritative Landlord-Tenant and Eviction Representation in Mobile, Alabama

Managing rental properties requires navigating a complex and strict maze of state and federal regulations. When property managers, conventional housing owners, or affordable housing groups face non-compliant tenants, having authoritative legal representation is indispensable. At Lee and Hughes, LLC, Attorneys at Law, landlords across Mobile and Baldwin counties find the ultimate shield for their investments. If you need to find an attorney who truly understands the foundation of rental housing law in Alabama, our Mobile-based firm delivers unparalleled legal expertise in residential real estate and commercial real estate law.

The legal team at the firm brings an extraordinary level of credibility to the practice. Founding attorney John V. Lee played a pivotal, direct role in drafting Alabama's Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act (URLTA) in 2005 and 2006, which established the state's modern eviction framework. Partner Taft Hughes serves as a Special District Court Judge for civil cases in Mobile County and handles landlord-tenant eviction dockets regularly. He is also the designated legal counsel for both the Mobile Bay Area Apartment Association and the Alabama Apartment Association. If you need to hire an attorney who literally helped write the law and enforces it from the bench, our team is unmatched.

Specialized Eviction and Compliance Services

Our law firm focuses exclusively on representing landlords, property management companies, and housing authorities. We provide a full spectrum of real estate and regulatory services, including:

• Residential evictions: Moving non-paying or disruptive tenants out of your property as quickly as permitted by the Alabama rules of civil procedure. We manage the process from the initial notice to the writ of eviction.
• Commercial evictions: Assisting commercial real estate landlords in recovering valuable retail, office, or warehouse spaces from defaulting business tenants.
• Fair housing defense: Protecting property owners and management staff against complex federal and state fair housing compliance complaints.
• Lease agreement drafting: Designing custom residential lease agreements and highly specific addenda to proactively prevent tenant disputes and liability.
• Ejectment actions: Pursuing formal ejectment lawsuits to recover possession of real property when traditional eviction routes are unavailable.

Rapid, Results-Oriented Property Recovery

At Lee and Hughes, LLC, we understand that every single day a non-paying tenant remains in possession of your property, your bottom line suffers. We have designed a streamlined, highly administrative system to ensure swift filings and prompt hearings. We initiate the eviction process the very same day you contact us. Furthermore, we do not require fees or court costs in advance to file your unlawful detainer action, which dramatically lowers the barrier to taking back control of your asset. Our long-term relationships with property management organizations demonstrate our consistency and dedication to landlord interests.

Respected Industry Leadership and Advocacy

In addition to active courtroom litigation, our attorneys are the premier educators for the Alabama rental housing industry. John V. Lee frequently presents at the Alabama Judicial College, the Alabama State Bar, and local bar associations, educating judges and lawyers alike on landlord-tenant evictions. Taft Hughes, who was awarded 'Best of the Bay' in 2022 by the Mobile Bay Area Apartment Association, publishes 'The Alabama Landlord Report' monthly, keeping property managers informed on critical compliance issues.
