If your doctor informed you that you needed a minor surgical procedure, would you go home and perform said procedure on yourself? No.
If your car broke down in the middle of the highway, would
you pop the hood and try to fix the problem yourself? No.
If you needed your wisdom teeth out, would you
self-medicate, grab a scalpel and some pliers and do the job yourself? No.
And, if you were sued by your ex-landlord for a significant amount of money for things that were absolutely not true, even though they had a rather large security deposit that
would have covered any incidental repairs or cleaning, would you try to
represent yourself?
No, no and no.
I am so thankful that I followed my heart (and the advice of
more than one good friend) and hired an incredible attorney. I am also relieved that I retained any
and all receipts for repairs and items I had purchased for said rental home,
and copies of all documents that supported my claims.
Today I am so very grateful for an attorney who did what he
has been trained to do and lifted the burden of worrying about this. I am proud that I followed my heart and
stood up for what I knew was right.
(Even when you’re tired, so very, very tired, it’s important to hold
onto your principles.)
Now, if he could help me wrap up another tiny little thing,
I might be able to enjoy a really good night’s sleep.

Whew! So glad to hear this part of the mess is resolving! Now forthe other part, right?
Hope you are enjoying your weeks off!!
Glad it worked out!!! As a lawyer (not practicing but still), everyone rags on lawyers but when you need one, they are the best. Glad you got a good one!
booyah! hope he stuck it to the landlords....karma baby! smiles...
Hello there, VM!! I came by to catch up with you and your very interesting life! I am sorry to learn about your break-up with Mr. Darcy. Ah, but your summer vacation begins now.
Plus dating is such good blogging fodder.:)
I am so glad that was resolved for you!
Glad it worked out. I only wish you had gotten your security deposit back, but hey, at least you didn't have to pay them anything more. Any chance the lawyer took you on as a pro bono case? ;-)

Glad it worked out for you. And I've read a few blogs in the last year about what happens when you try to do the legal system on your own.
And when you don't.
Sorry you lost your security deposit to this obvious scumbag but I'm so glad your attorney resolved the case so it is off your shoulders. Good for you for following your gut and sticking up for the truth!
YAY! Don't mess with the heifer!!!
Phew! What a relief. So glad your attorney was a good one and that's off your plate.
