Hypothetical question

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

home inspector missed major defect. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Illustrative response

Not a lawyer (at least in my experience), but I have direct experience with this.

The thing that gets people is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Illustrative response

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Illustrative response

Just consulted with an attorney about my case. The initial consultation was free and they took it on contingency (no upfront cost, they take a percentage of the recovery). If your case has strong merits, many attorneys will work on contingency.
