Q. Contractor is refusing to submit the last pieces of paperwork to the county to obtain the CO, what is my next steps?
A: Your only real solution is to retain an experienced civil litigation attorney. If a letter does not get the problem resolved, then you will need to engage in litigation. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality attorney in New Jersey irrespective of geography.
Q. Fort Lee, NJ Coop building - active leaks from units above AC system, damage to our ceiling , Coop delays repair
A: You really need to retain an experienced civil litigation attorney and file suit against the coop board ,the President and possibly the unit owner above you. Many of these HOA, coop, and condo boards are either corrupt or engage in improper self-dealing. I routinely advise my clients to avoid purchasing any property that has one of these organizations. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality attorney in New Jersey irrespective of geography.
Q. Why must I continue to pay Child support if my daughter moved out from home and is working and paying rent?
A: Emancipation is not automatic, a motion to emancipate her has to be filed. If there are some facts that you have not provided, that would explain why no attorney you spoke to believes it is an issue. So if you not left out key facts, it would require a motion. However, if she is a special needs child or there is something in prior court orders, that may change the situation. Be prepared to furnish the Court documents from the Judgment of Divorce and any subsequent documents to an attorney and expect to pay between 1/2 to 1 hour of attorney time to have an answer furnished to you. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality
