Rashad Merriweather
Staff Attorney, Eviction Defense
Rashad represents tenants at eviction hearings, and spends most mornings at Municipal Court.
Rashad came to tenant law after his own family faced an eviction when he was in high school. He handles notices, answers, hearings and appeals, and he’s known in the courthouse hallway for settling cases on terms tenants can live with.
He wrote our guide to the first week after an eviction notice.
