Real Estate

Florida. i purchased a property in december 1998 for cash. i broke off with my boyfriend in april 1999 and he alleges he owns part of the building due to several counts including fraud of inducement. i received two checks from the boyfriend for 25,000 each. the checks represented 25,000 for past debts he owed to me and 25,000 he had promised me as a gift. i put in my own funds of approx 95,000. i own the building free and clear. it was not until august 1999 that he alleges he owns a part of the building. because i acknowledge receipt of the two separate checks which were not contingent upon him sharing ownership, what recourse do i have to defend myself?

Hire an attorney to help you. I believe there is more to this story.

That was real helpful. What type of attorney? I've been to two and the both want the case but haven't convince me they know what to do. I have seen what happens when attorneys experiment with case before and I don't want to go through that. Are there any good referral systems whom can give good qualified referrals? Are you an attorney?

**My response: Gee, wake up. When you interview them you ask for their resume, experience, history of cases won in that specific area of law. Ask for references and call those references. Will they bill hourly or take the case on contingency. Do they have support staff or run a one man type operation etc.

**My response: Yes there are at least 20 that I know of.
If you bothered to familarize yourself with this website before using same, you would have discovered that there is a website called [url]http://www.attorneypages.com[/url]
They are many more but use your complaining time to investigate the options.
