Seattle Eviction Services – Seattle, WA

Professional Eviction Services in Pioneer Square

Seattle Eviction Services is a specialized law practice located in the historic Pioneer Square district of Seattle. Operating under the legal direction of Attorney Keon Knutson (WSBA #38858), the firm has been serving landlords and property owners in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties since 2012. The firm was established to provide a streamlined, professional, and legally compliant solution for one of the most stressful aspects of property management: the eviction process. Unlike general practice attorneys who may dabble in real estate law, Seattle Eviction Services focuses exclusively on Unlawful Detainer actions, handling approximately 30 cases a month and having successfully represented clients in over 1,500 eviction cases.

Comprehensive Landlord Representation

The firm offers a structured, step-by-step approach to the eviction process, ensuring that landlords are protected from common legal pitfalls that can delay property recovery.

• Residential Evictions: Expert handling of non-payment of rent, lease violations, and termination of tenancy cases for apartments and single-family homes.
• Commercial Evictions: Representing owners of retail, office, and industrial spaces in complex lease disputes and tenant removal.
• Post-Foreclosure Evictions: Assisting new owners and financial institutions in recovering possession of properties after a foreclosure sale.
• Notice Drafting and Service: Preparing legally watertight notices (14-Day Pay or Vacate, 10-Day Comply or Vacate) to initiate the eviction process correctly.
• Unlawful Detainer Litigation: Filing the Summons and Complaint, representing the landlord at Show Cause hearings, and obtaining Writs of Restitution.
• Sheriff Lockouts: Coordinating with the County Sheriff’s office to physically remove non-compliant tenants and restore possession to the landlord.

Efficient and Transparent

Seattle Eviction Services prides itself on efficiency and transparency. They understand that every day a non-paying tenant remains in a property represents a financial loss for the landlord. To address this, they utilize a flat fee structure for uncontested matters, allowing clients to predict their legal costs upfront. The firm divides the eviction process into distinct steps (e.g., Notice, Lawsuit, Judgment), so clients only pay for the services they actually need. This model is particularly beneficial for landlords who may resolve a dispute midway through the process.

"Our goal is to restore your property rights swiftly and legally. We navigate the courts so you can get back to business."

Attorney Keon Knutson brings a wealth of experience to the table, having practiced in Washington State since 2007. His deep understanding of the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act is crucial in a jurisdiction like Seattle, which has some of the most tenant-protective laws in the country. The firm offers a free 30-minute phone consultation to assess the specifics of a case and determine the best course of action.
