Getting the Eviction Notice Right the First Time
An improperly served eviction notice is the single most common reason unlawful detainer cases stall in Contra Costa County. We serve 3-Day Notices to Pay Rent or Quit, 3-Day Notices to Perform Covenant or Quit, 3-Day Notices to Quit, and 30-Day/60-Day Notices to Terminate Tenancy with documented attempts and proof of service built to the standard the Walnut Creek branch courthouse expects for Concord-area filings.
$599 flat-fee eviction support package
Notice service, summons & complaint service, filing coordination, and proof of service — court fees invoiced separately.
Unlawful Detainer Summons Service in Concord
Once your notice period runs and the complaint is filed, the summons and complaint must be personally served before the case proceeds. We attempt personal service first — the strongest method — and document every attempt with GPS timestamps. If the tenant can't be reached after diligent attempts, we move to substitute service or posting-and-mailing under CCP §415.20, with documentation that holds up if the tenant later challenges service.
Concord and Central County Coverage
We cover Concord, Pleasant Hill, Clayton, Martinez, and Walnut Creek as part of our central Contra Costa County territory. Concord's mix of apartment complexes near BART and single-family rentals in the surrounding neighborhoods each require a different service approach — we adjust attempt timing based on the property type and known tenant schedule.
The $599 Flat-Fee Package for Concord Landlords
Rather than coordinating separate vendors for notice service, process serving, and filing support, Northbound Legal's flat-fee package bundles 3-Day Notice preparation support, notice service, summons and complaint service, court filing coordination, proofs of service, deadline tracking, default tracking, and writ and sheriff lockout guidance into one $599 fee, with court costs advanced and invoiced separately.
Courts We Serve Documents For in Concord
Cases involving Concord defendants and witnesses are typically filed with the Contra Costa County Superior Court. Northbound Legal prepares court-ready proof of service documentation for all Contra Costa County courthouse locations.
