[quote=Blogstar]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.[/quote]
Absolutely, Russ, you should “take the bull by the horns” and tell an attorney you are considering hiring exactly what you are trying to achieve and ask him/her what they think might be most economical way to do that. They may come up with an idea you haven’t even considered. You can also try to negotiate unbundled services and/or a “Limited Scope Representation” retainer agreement. Just because an attorney doesn’t advertise these methods of doing business doesn’t mean they won’t agree to them …. with the “right” client.
[quote=blogstar]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.[/quote]
Thanks for clarifying how your easements were created, Russ. I asked you this question last night. I’m not understanding the second half of your sentence. Are you saying that you had surveyed any boundaries where your title company had doubts? Did you hire an engineer to have the easement(s) replatted to your parcel(s)? Did you mean “…no important exclusions?”
It doesn’t matter what Mr Wacko knows or doesn’t know but it could matter a great deal to you if he ends up retaining an attorney.
