Landlords in Lake Charles often lose eviction cases before they even file the suit. Why? Because they treated the 5-Day Notice to Vacate like a sticky note. In Calcasieu Parish (especially Ward 3 City Court), if you cannot prove the tenant actually received the notice, your case is often thrown out.

In this episode, Scott Frank explains the "Calcasieu Curveball" and why serving an eviction notice in Lake Charles is different from Lafayette. Learn why "tacking" (taping it to the door) is risky without a specific lease clause, and how a professional process server protects your property rights.

What We Cover:

• The "5-Day" Trap: Why counting weekends and holidays incorrectly ruins your timeline.

• Ward 3 vs. Ward 4: Navigating the specific rules of Lake Charles City Court vs. Sulphur.

• The "Stakeout" Solution: How we handle tenants who hide inside to avoid the notice (Stakeout in connection to a process service).

• Proof of Service: Why a sworn affidavit from a Process Server beats a certified mail receipt every time.

Sheriff returned your papers "Not Found"? That doesn't mean the case is dead. In Lafayette, a "bad address" often just means the defendant is smart. Whether they work offshore on a 14/14 rotation or live behind a gate in River Ranch, generic online databases can't find them.

In this episode, Scott Frank explains the difference between a basic "people search" and Professional Skip Tracing. Learn how Lafayette Process Servers LLC uses utility data, vehicle sightings, and stakeouts in connection to a process service to locate individuals who don't want to be found.

What We Cover:

• The "Oilfield" Problem: Why defendants working for PHI or Bristow are impossible to serve without a rotation schedule.

• Gated Communities: How to legally effect service in River Ranch and Le Triomphe.

• The "Stakeout" Solution: Why waiting down the street is sometimes the only way to get the papers delivered.
