Unfortunately, your state gives tenants very little time compared to other states: if the judge finds that the landlord has the right to evict you, you will have to move within 24 hours--one day--of the ruling. Thus, you can be out as soon as the next day after the court appearance.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
