Client Reviews
What clients say about Frankie
A 5.0 rating across verified client reviews — for thorough, honest representation that fights for the result.
Mr. Adamo helped with a case brought against me by State Farm. I was living in New York at the time and he helped me successfully even though I was in a different state. He was thorough and incredibly informative.
Frankie Adamo is one of the most honest lawyers you will ever find in Arizona. He actually cares about his clients. Our case was long and exhausting, yet he never got tired of fighting to protect my rights. I recommend him 100%.
He thoroughly researches the law and finds legal arguments other lawyers would overlook. He is kind to clients and explains the details of their cases so each client can make informed decisions. I would refer Frank without hesitation.

Yes, we can assist as long as the rental property is in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Once the complaint is filed:
- The court provides us with an initial hearing date to present your case.
- We serve the eviction complaint and summons on your tenant.
- We prepare for and represent you at the initial hearing.
The majority of eviction cases are resolved at the initial hearing and are not scheduled for a full trial. Most cases are set for trial if there is a disagreement about what actually happened (known as a “factual dispute”) at the initial hearing. Examples of disputes of fact are:
- Whether rent was actually paid.
- Whether the tenant attempted to pay rent, but you did not accept it.
- How much rent is owed.
- Whether the landlord accepted partial payment.
- Whether there is a dispute over title.
We request that the property owner or property manager attend all hearings virtually in case your testimony is required to proceed with the eviction. If there is a trial, anyone who can testify about the facts in dispute would also need to attend as a witness. Some trials are virtual, and other trials are held in person.
If your tenant fails to vacate the premises after the judgment is entered, then typically, in five days, the court will issue a writ of restitution, which you (Landlord) will have to obtain from the court and deliver to a constable/sheriff. You must also schedule a date to meet the constable/sheriff to serve the writ of restitution and remove the tenant.
