trial and error.  

The second is in section 24, Miscellaneous (J) - waiving of right to jury trial for landlord and tenant. 

I hope you have some kind of paper trial for him to work off of.Best of luck! 

We both showed up to the trial. 

If one side won't give an inch then its usually a full blown trial. which of course is in our neck of the woods 20 to 50k from start to finish an if its a complicated litigation could be staggeringly  more money.. not sure in Texas but our attorneys in these parts are 300 to 500 an hour

It is a great website that offers a 7-day free trial to search property-specific information and owner information.

I would love to jump into their LLC but they only want the partners of the oral surgery clinic to be partners in the LLC.

It seems like handymen and contractors are super busy so I don't know how to efficiently vet them without using too much of their time.I also don't really know how to know if the work will be quality, or if I'll be overpaying without trial and error or getting multiple bids.Thoughts on those topics?

You will need to operate your LLC's as a separate business otherwise you pierce your corporate veil and lose your asset protection (but have to keep paying for it especially since you probably didn't realize you had lost your protection).Otherwise, I'd have to say finding a good accountant and laywer is still trial and error / referral. 

Cleveland Clinic just got voted #2 hospital in the world by whomever rates stuff like that.
