The Eviction Center is a unique company that provides a much needed service to landlords in Southern California. Our company differs because we offer our clients a more affordable alternative than that of using a high-priced law firm, combined with a higher level of customer service and expertise in the areas of Unlawful Detainer proceedings, Process Serving, Small Claims, Judgment Enforcement.
The Eviction Center is a member of the California Apartment Association (CAA) state association for over 20 years. This organization provides property owners invaluable information on law changes, operational advice, and industry related concerns.

In addition, we own and operate a full service property management company, The Griffon Management Group, Inc. in Beaumont, CA. Our company also holds a state Private Investigation license, and has several registered and licensed Process Servers.
The Eviction Center has been providing these services since 1990. and has grown to 3 offices. The Eviction Center provides service over a large geographical area, while remaining small enough to provide each of our clients a more personal but professional level of service and a local advantage. The Eviction Center team of employees has over 45 years of combined experience, which also includes operational training and consulting. Our team works closely with our advising attorneys to ensure that your case is properly managed from start to finish.
This family owned business has grown and continues to remain successful, based on the core belief that we respect the rights of both the landlord and tenant, and hopefully make the eviction process an easier one for both parties. Our company is also committed to the advancement of the rental housing industry, the education of property owners, and the preservation of a positive image of the property owners that provide housing to half the population of California.
Our commitment is to not just the landlords we serve, but also to the surrounding cities in which we work and live, in supporting several Crime Free Multi-Housing programs by dedicating countless hours of volunteer time to these cities.
We are a GREAT TEAM, we all have different levels of education/experience, but together we make the BEST TEAM. We help each other with any questions or concerns we might have to make sure we provide you with the best and honest information. Let us help you and we can assure you that you won’t regret it!
