House was in danger of being put up for sheriff sale until I paid delinquent taxes. I want possession and he refuses to cooperate

He refused to return my emails or phone calls. He finally called after a nasty email I sent. I want to fire him but I will probably lose $500 and two months.
In Kansas, the process can take some time. That said, if two months have passed since he was supposed to file documents, and if he still hasn't after your recent phone call, you might be wise to at least touch base with another attorney. If the first one didn't do any work, you... Read more »

This ticket is payable and does not require a court appearance. Although if you hire an attorney, they'll maybe be able to reduce the fines on... Read more »
