Come meet the judge at the buffet line before you face her at the bench! Judge Horan will be reviewing the top mistakes landlords make. She will also be imparting words of wisdom that, if taken to heart, will make both your life and hers better should you end up meeting in court. If a future case were to go badly you would have no one to blame but yourself. Learn while you have the chance. Don't miss this event!
Judge Horan will be bringing some of her team with her from the Central Division of the Housing Court. The Clerk Magistrate might decide a case if it's uncontested. The Housing Specialist might help you mediate your agreement for binding judgment. The Court Service Center might give you information about the laws or how to find an attorney. There's a lot to Housing Court, and a lot of options to help you protect your rights of ownership.
The most important thing you can take away from this event will be mediation. Mediation is your last chance to resolve an eviction before you see the judge and all your sins are laid bare. Learn how you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by mediating.
This is a rare opportunity to learn from Housing Court staff. Paid members are encouraged to submit questions to WorcesterPOA@GoogleGroups.com one week prior to the event. Questions may be taken from the audience but maybe not. Discussing active cases will not be allowed. This meeting will not be videotaped or minuted.
Book early, this event may become standing-room only (we can add capacity if we know you're coming).
