I am an attorney working in criminal litigation, prosecution, but I also have experience with landlord tenant law and real estate law.  

Sir, there have been a lot of posts in this thread and you are not the only one to ask questions I still have a business to run, again apologies.Sir, the matter that you are referring to is pending litigation and my attorney has asked me not to share too much information.
