Neighbor Dispute

Errol suggested since I live in a condo, I should contact the property manager to handle an issue that my neighbor want to involve me in directly. His advice was 100 percent and I have not heard from them again. The issue was a rainstorm and the neighbor suggesting it was my fault that water was comi...ng in their condo.

My Attorney/Realator

I have used Errol to develop a LLC and business, sell two houses and buy and write two contracts for houses. He has always researched the plans and came back with the recommendations. He has constantly kept me informed of the process and status. He has been totally Trustworthy and knowledgable. I... have known Errol for 21 years and he handles all of my legal affairs.
