I had 2 lawyers pumping me full of estates, TONS of realtor's calling me before listing good properties, it was all spoon fed sweetness that I spent 3 years developing.

I know you said that the lawyer stated that you should not contact the police or DA because they don't care about getting your money back.

If you expect to do this multiple times then pay a lawyer to get you sorted on the first one.

My wife is also coming in the army as a lawyer, so we both serve.

Aside from that, Feb-27 is contract expiry.Shall I hire a lawyer to ensure that seller performs on the contract?

I read that if it was occupied that the person can live in it during the right of redemption free, then my lawyer said no, they have to be out in ten days from sale or they forfeit any redemption rights.

It took 3 lawyers and a large national bank 60 days to gat a release from the IRS for a partial distribution instead of the net proceeds.

If you ask a lawyer for their opinion ask if they will put it in writing.

If unsure get a lawyer to read it.2.

Long story short: we had a deal, he stood me up at the settlement table due to depression, his lawyer filed bankrupTcy next day, assets were frozen for 8 months, foreclosure, sheriff's sale, Fannie Mae bought from bank.I know this property intimately.
