Illegal sewer tap and property damage

[Jacqueline Smith]

We are hoping to find a real estate attorney that can handle a case involving a trespass in which an  illegal sanitary sewer cleanout and corrugated downspout drains were placed on my property.  The line they tapped into had been abandoned by the city the year before (and was not the approved location). Some how the city dropped the ball and issued a CO to this new construction build. This allowed folks to move in and led to this line rupturing.spilling sewage onto my property for months. The corresponding property damage involves the complete loss of the existing structure w/o the possibility of rebuilding.

We are looking to get into mediation/litigation asap...and are hoping to find a law group that works on contingency in the Raleigh Durham area.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give
