[quote=bearishgurl][quote=Hobie] . . . You are not in good place with this. You don’t have all the options to make decisions. He gave you bad advice and is simply trying to win you over again with another meeting next week….[/quote]

I don’t think this is the case, Hobie. RUSS set up the FREE consultation with the attorney next week. Civil attorneys could give a r@t’s ass if they ever give any “free consultations” …. or not. Their time is valuable and they don’t usually take “contingency cases.”

I am as unclear about the details of this case as you are and probably a few other Piggs reading this thread. Maybe the OP doesn’t want to disclose them in detail and that’s okay. What he has explained so far sounds a bit convoluted to me. I know it all makes sense to him but there has been info left out of this thread to the extent that no one here can determine the exact condition of his title without examining it themselves (one who has the knowledge and skill to do this properly).

Seriously, attorneys don’t care. They are more than happy to fire (relieve) themselves in a New York minute off a case of a client they don’t want anymore if the court will permit it. Attorneys are a “necessary evil,” if you will. We need them worse than they need us.[/quote]

Totally disagree that we need attorneys more than they need us. Sure they will avoid real problem child clients, like anybody, but the client also can take the bull by the horns and get good service , like with any tool, or shop for another tool. Are you saying no lawyers will play unless they can rip us off? I don’t agree.

How much more info can I add about my easements than that they are created by grant deeds with my title company , surveys and engineering require where title company had doubt and it was added to my policy with no important encumbrances. Sorry , BG , you are very knowledgeable but are lending to any convolution here. The could be a super hidden defect but even the neighbor has no clue of it , if it exists.
