You will simply need to decide if comimg "out of pocket" to hire a lawyer is worth the expense, hire a lawyer and have them intervene and possibly sue the board to force action orfind out why they have taken none. If its not worth spending several thousand dollars on a lawyer to intervene, then its not worth picking the fight to begin with. ... Read More

Is there a "cooling off" period for an agreement to have a broken sewer line replaced?

Answered 8 years and 10 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
"you would argue" all you like - BUT - bottom line is you signed some documents and then cancelled on a holday, so not sure what that entails. You of course have the right to dipsute anything you want to. However. rather than "arguing" you may want to focus on resolving the dispute in some fashion, bearing in mind that at some level, if this esacalates the expense of dealing with it in court and with lawyers will possibly exceed the amount in dispute. There should be little doubt that you owe the first plumber some money  especially if you had them come out on a holiday weekend. IN the future - don't put your signature to deals you don't intend to abide by. Signing up with one plumber and them searching for a better deal aftwerwards is NOT the way to properly handle such issues for the reasons you now see.  As to whether one plumber or the other is more "reputable" no one can tell until the a comparison of work is made and the job performed. By example, many times people accuse the LICENSED plumber that pulls proper permits as being "inflated" and go for the cheaper and illegal unlicensed plumber doing unpermitted work. Cheaper for obvious reason, unless some thing goes wrong. ... Read More

Answered 8 years and 10 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
There is no such thing. The scope of a lawyers representation is defined by the hiring organization, not a random pre-stated list. Much of this is dictated by the expense the HOA/COA is willing to bear in legal fees. Lawyers will take out the trash and clean the units at $400.00 an hour but you probably don't want that scope of service. ... Read More
