Re: Inspection Cancelled
Sounds like the buyers were a bit uneducated. The lawyer as well. A good rebuttal question to the lawyer might have been "do you have a problem with peace-meal case work?" I might have suggested that he was creating an opening for a malpractice lawsuit against him, due to his failure to properly protect his client. I might have asked him point-blank on the telephone if there were any conflicts of interest between himself and the contractors hired to "inspect" various systems. After all, he did say that was exactly how he had worked his "inspections" in his own deals, right? Any chance these guys were also clients of his? I might have left him with the idea that there was a strong smell of collusion, and that I would be backing out of the deal. I probably would have informed my client of that, just before backing out. But that would be me, and I don't recommend folks imitate what I might do, unless they have a lot of fortitude, and have at least once told a judge to shut up, and had gotten away with it, because I was right.
