QUESTION:
Does anyone know of a good lawyer in Houston to sue a large home repair contractor?
My parents contracted with Atlas foundation to repair their foundation in Brenham and Atlas charged them thousands of dollars to literally wreck their house. They botched the job and now my elderly parents are attempting to sue them but have to use arbitration per the contract. The lawyer they hired out of Bryan is a joke and has taken several thousand dollars from them and no results. They went to mediation and the lawyer was encouraging them to accept K (that won’t even cover his fees!) He is now offering to “dump” them to another lawyer since they are not happy with him. I smell a second lawsuit.-
ANSWER:
You can call the state bar association and ask for a referral to construction law attorney. If they can’t afford to hire another attorney, then they can look into getting free legal services from a legal aid clinic. Also, there are organizations that legal aid clinics that focus services for elderly clients only they may not be able to take the case but they may be able to give her a referral to a reputable attorney in the area.Also, arbitratiion clauses are not necessarily binding, if they are not mutually binding, meaning that both sides have given up their right to go to court.
You may also look into the agency in your state that grants construction licenses and look into filing a complaint with them as well.
Hope this helps, good luck.
