Just to share the outcome of the above situation.  

I called back the appraiser and asked him if he was able to get over the verbal...he replied yes but that he wasn't allowed to share the outcome with me based on his agreement with the bank.

However, I looked at reviews on him as a lawyer and not too many people were speaking highly of his work ethic, so that is why I have not contacted him.Have you had any dealings with the law firm and what was your outcome?

Best of luck Brandon and keep us posted as I am very curious of the ultimate outcome.

I most definitely feel you, as the uncertainty of the outcome can make one very anxious.

Good luck & let us know your outcome!

I will let you know which way I go and the outcome.

The likely outcome he is going to think "Heck, I will have to do work both sides of the transaction and I will get paid less?".

I have no clue what I am doing but from reading all the post I have found my motivation to jump into the deep end regardless of the outcome.

Any lawsuit will automatically cost money to address, regardless of eventual outcome.
