Rebecca S.
I absolutely love helping my clients buy their first home, sell their starters, upgrade to their next big adventure, or transition to their next phase of life. The confidence my clients have going into a transaction and through the whole process is one of the most rewarding aspects of practicing this type of law. My very first class in law school was property law, and let me tell you, this was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I remember vividly cracking open that big red book and staring at the pages not having the faintest idea what I was actually reading. Despite those initial scary moments, I grew to love property law. My obsession with real estate law was solidified when I was working in Virginia at a law firm outside DC. I ran the settlement (escrow) department and learned the ins and outs of transactions and the unique needs of the parties. My husband and I bought our first home in Virginia in 2012 and despite being an attorney, there was so much we didn’t know, especially when it came to our HOA and our mortgage. Our real estate agent was a wonderful resource for finding our home and negotiating some of the key terms, but there was something missing in the process. I’ve spent the last 10 years helping those who were in the same situation we were in better understand the process.

Asset Purchase
California
I am a seller .Buyer broke the contract, How do I get the earnest money in case the buyer did not agree to sign ? .
I am a seller . made a contract to sell the commercial building. But Buyer did not make to fulfill their jobs, my broker asked to sign for the deposit. They did not answer for long time. Escrow company said without both sign, can not release the deposit to the seller.
Donya G.
That is correct. The escrow agreements I have drafted or reviewed would only release the money if both parties agreed. However, the document should outline what happens when there is a dispute. You will need the document reviewed and then advised on the next steps. As a contracts attorney who has experience with contract disputes, I can assist you. If you would like to engage my services, you may contact me on the Contracts Counsel website. Donya Gordon

Contract Agreement
Utah
Should I sign a contract if I don't understand what it is saying?
Has a contract with someone where if we disagreed we would go to mediation. They refused to go, they offered us a settlement as long as we signed another contract. I don't understand fully what it is saying.
Donya G.
Absolutely NOT. You never sign ANYTHING you do not understand because when you sign, you become bound to those terms whether you understood them or not or whether you agree with them or not. Should you later have a disagreement on the contract you signed, the court, or arbitrator will see your signature on the document as a sign that you read, understood and agreed to the terms. You will need to hire an attorney to review the initial agreement to see if they can refuse mediation as well as to look at the new contract and let you know what it says and whether you should sign it or not. I am a contracts attorney and if you you would like my services, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website.

Cease and Desist
Washington
Can I send a cease and desist letter to someone who is spreading false information about me online?
I am a small business owner and recently discovered that a former employee has been spreading false and damaging information about me and my business on social media. This false information is negatively impacting my reputation and causing potential clients to question the credibility of my business. I want to put a stop to this and protect my reputation, so I am considering sending a cease and desist letter to the individual. I would like to know if it is legally appropriate and effective to send such a letter in this situation.
Merry K.
What I suggest you do is write a polite, professional, and firm letter to the person(s) and send the letter in a manner in which you will get a receipt, such as certified, return receipt through the post office (this costs $8.75). Keep copies of everything. Let the person know they must stop immediately and remove any and all defamatory posts.. Do not make any threats. You can have an attorney do this for you, but it will probably cost you around $1000. After you send this letter, if the problem doesn't stop, the next step would be to get a civil anti-harassment order through court. This is something you can do yourself. If this doesn't work, you can return to court with a request (motion) to the judge to hold the defendant (respondent) in contempt and ask the court to impose fines. Another option, of course, is to sue for defamation (even for a business), but this type of case would cost you thousands and thousands of dollars, and there's no guaranty than you would win and get paid by the defendant. Although this is a "women's law" website, the website has a great explanation of various types of restraining orders in Washington State. Please look at the explanation for civil harassment: https://www.womenslaw.org/laws/wa/restraining-orders/civil-anti-harassment-orders You can, of course, skip writing a letter and go straight to filling for harassment, but judges tend to like to see some reasonable effort on the part of litigants to resolve their problems on their own prior to going to court. I normally would offer to help you, but I'm going to be traveling and am not available until some time after October 17th or so. I also do not engage in litigation any more myself. Oh, I want you to know that most Washington counties have a website for their courts that provide lots of information and forms for obtaining various types of restraining orders. Best wishes, Merry Kogut

Contract Agreement
Illinois
What is my best path to recover a down payment paid to a contractor who never started my job and has gone MIA while I've been trying to cordially recover my money. Demand Letter via certified mail etc..?
I signed a contract with a contractor to update my home. I signed the contract and paid a $5k deposit (the contract has zero verbiage related to a deposit) to 'get on his list'. After several months and failed attempts to get a specific start date I informed the contractor I was not going to move forward with the project. He said he would pay the deposit back but asked for me to accept $1000 / month. He paid $1000 back however has gone MIA since and is not returning any calls or texts.
Jane C.
I suggest you have an attorney send a demand letter. If that fails, you can bring you claim against the contractor to small claims court.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
