Would you trust a part-time attorney or even a licensed amateur JD to defend you against a lawsuit (can there even be such a thing)?

I'm from Chicago, and would like to actually know who you eventually partnered with @Larry Fried, so I know who will be trustworthy, since I know its not the OP of this thread.To the OP, the problem with your '2 sides of story' argument, is that you haven't defended yourself with any story, and that you lost a court case.

I'm doing mine through Champions near the Galleria.  

and Property Managers in general,Just about no one on Bigger Pockets is as big a defender of Property Managers as I am. 

@Kelly Clauson Each state laws are different, so to be a 100% sure, talk with your lwayer.I can tell you that most insurance policies have language in them to defend the namend insured (The entity on the policy) and the owners of the entity. 

Aside from the basics lease defend gave me reports outlining the tenants spending patterns over the past 2 years, I am in love with this.What I want to know is; besides the tools I have used, what else should I be doing.  

They're looking to simply make their money renting, until the bank comes knockin', defending and slowing them down.

You can win the battle and still lose the war, all depends on how much you would want to spend defending yourself for discrimination. 

What ever contract / lease / other document you use, run it by your attorney to make sure (s)he can defend it in court.

When the homeowner is delinquent & there's a notice on the house from the Sheriff's office stating "Plaintiff demands an answer from Defendant" but doesn't have a foreclosure date, is the deal worth pursuing for assignment (wholesale)?
