What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA
My husband was served papers to appear in court for "failure to clean up property" that claimed he was the owner of. For various reasons the case was postponed 3 times (which he appeared in court each month) and then dismissed on this last time with the help of his attorney to the tune of $6,500.00 +. My question is, does he have any right to sue the City for wrongfully charging him as owner of the property which he does not own and has never owned? We just want to recoup the cost of the attorney fees as we were told he would take the case for $3,300.00, but now all of a sudden the bill we got was a lot more.
