Offer $5K cash for keys. If they don’t take it, then you know it’s worth it to go with the lawyer charging $6K-$8K
Don’t waste your time offering $5k, the tenant will think you’re an idiot. Even legal relocation payments in LA start around $12k and can get to the $20k range; buyouts need to be at least as incentivizing if not more.
Since the tenant hasn’t paid until now, you have a good case for straight eviction. I’d hire the lawyer.

Have you tried offering to pay them to leave? Might be cheaper and quicker
