Can I get My Escrow Back? Seller and Transaction Broker Lied?

we need help fast. We were in a lease/purchase contract. The sellers agent/realtor (also our transactional broker – big mistake I know!) is a parent to the seller of our home. They did not bother to disclose to us the real cause of mold in our home. We are now backing out of contract and have offered to let them have our $25k ($15k of which is in Escrow). Now they’re wanting more due to market crashing, want us to pay taxes, utiliites etc.. What chance do we have of getting our $25k back if we pursue litigation? Or could the seller sue us for more? The contracted stated an extended close. Please help!!!!

Also, we found out the real estate broker may have funded the purchase of the sellers home. If this is the case, is it legal for her to be the transactional broker for the buyer? She never disclosed to us this fact.

Any real estate transaction. You must be notified by the broker that they are related to the seller. Of course each state has there own rules and regulations. The mold is another matter. If you have contacted the broker/seller of the mold prior to assuming the home or had it inspected before then you would of covered yourself. As you have been advised by another persons answer get a real estate attorney.

Pure Performance Based Internet Marketing Strategies for Attorneys, Lawyers, and Law Firms

Burbank, CA (PRWEB) – Every year over 6 million people get into a car accident in the United States. Drunk drivers cause over 40% of these incidents with a 50% injury rate. 25% of the population suffers falls that result in physical damages, many occurring to young children and the elderly.

A multitude of these spills take place in businesses because of faulty safety precautions while numerous car accidents happen as a direct result of negligence by unwary or intoxicated drivers. Being a victim of such traumatic events inevitably raises the alarm to sue the party causing the damage.

When searching for a personal injury attorney through the Internet it is no surprise at how many PI lawyers show up under the simple search request for “personal injury attorney”. For the personal injury lawyers that want to offer their services to those that have been wronged, matching the kind of plaintiff that meets the needs of the firm is just about as difficult as it is for the client to find the right attorney.

Legal firms are businesses and as such require revenue in order to stay afloat in addition to making a profit. As every personal injury attorney knows, not all cases of personal injury, regardless of right or wrong, will result in a favorable settlement either for the client or the company.

The internet is a wonderful resource but the key to utilizing the net in its most productive fashion is to be able to get the recognition needed to be ahead of the competition while at the same time gleaning and qualifying those inquiries away from the mass of people that will never be the right candidate for litigation by the firm.

According to the attorney Internet marketing experts at iMajestic (www.majestic.com ) – “Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of dynamically and effectively transmitting your website’s original and unique content to search engines and bringing forward the best, most up-to-date and effective solutions enabling your website to be instinctively visible and naturally rank higher than others offering the same or similar products and services.”

SEO is more than a computer or cyber science because it involves an intrinsic understanding of how web crawlers operate as well as intimate knowledge of the business being marketed. The ability to incorporate the two so that it translates into search engine results that bring more than just a large number of “hits” to the home page means being able to direct traffic that not only fits the right profile of clientele but inquires that will go beyond the home page and convert to true customers.

With over 1 million attorneys in the United States alone and with almost every single one putting out their own web site, getting attention to any one particular site takes more than luck and talent, it takes experience, up to date information on the latest rules of engagement as well as the ability to show successful track record of performance. The professionals at iMajestic have come up with a unique solution for the skeptic and conservative lawyer who wish to minimize the risk of Internet marketing. Simply put, iMajestic has created a fool-proof, 100% guaranteed method of marketing called Pure Performance Based Internet Marketing.

The idea is basic and brilliant; Get results from Internet marketing before paying.

The unheard of concept of proving ability prior to compensation allows for personal injury attorneys to reap the benefits of quality, robust world wide web marketing campaigns that guarantee the firm will garner qualified clientele without spending any money to do so. Just like the attorney that takes the case on a contingency basis, so does iMajestic, generating preferred results, pleasing the customer and then accepting payment for a job well done.

Marketing Litigation Practice

Is it even possible to eliminate age discrimination in the labour market?

I think it was back in 2007 that the [UK] government made it illegal to discriminate on such grounds.

Employment application forms usually ask for your DOB but if you choose not to answer it will be seen as ‘having something to hide’. If an employer stated in writing that you were rejected for this reason then you may have a case for litigation, but in practice, that’s very unlikely to happen. Also, unless you refrain from detailing when you were at school it’s not rocket science to approximate your age.

At the interview stage it becomes even more difficult.

I appreciate that the legislation was passed with good intentions but I do not believe that it’s enforcible, and was therefore a waste of parliamentary time, and subsequently, taxpayers’ money.

You make a very good argument. There are many ways companies get around the requirement. The very young obviously don’t have the knowledge or experience and the very old don’t have the physical strength and agility required for some jobs.

Unless it is a very small community, not all the applicants know each other and there really isn’t any way for the average person to discern the company’s reasoning behind hiring a particular person. (unless it is a family member)

Good Point!

Building Quality Business Development Through Internet Marketing

Are you so busy with the daily demands of running your practice, meeting court deadlines and serving client needs that you don’t have time for business development?

Moreover, have the current, challenging times seen a dip in new business generation for your law firm? Even if your law firm has not experienced a decline in business, it must undoubtedly have heard about other businesses that are taking a hit. Partners are taking pay cuts. Mergers are on line to save companies. Small firms and sole practitioners are also experiencing declining revenues as a result of the weakening economy. It’s not surprising then that many firms are reassessing their budgets in an attempt to trim expenses. And a marketing budget is one that many will consider reducing, or even eliminating entirely.

However, one must not forget that certain practice management areas are recession-proof, or are likely to experience an increase in business in a struggling economy. Significant amounts of work are expected to be required in litigation, bankruptcy, restructuring, intellectual property, trusts, personal injury or products liability. Marketing just cannot be ignored. However, the need of the hour is to pursue activities where results can be tracked and resources redirected to efforts that yield the best return. In other words, focus must be on business development and lead generation activities that employ a different tactic and yield the same or greater results without the high price tag.

Internet marketing is one such activity. Because of the pervasive nature of the internet, you can reach a larger audience than any other form of marketing aimed at building relationships. And in doing so, you increase your potential to get new clients and referrals. According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, the percentage of consumers who use the internet to locate legal services has almost tripled to 27% in 2006, from 10% in 2000, and the number is still growing.

The internet platform also allows one to accurately measure enquiries and precisely see how much business has come via the internet from targeted campaigns. Moreover, in today’s strained financial times, clients referring lawyers are even more selective about the law firms and individual lawyers they choose to do business with. Trust, respect and friendly connection all play a vital role in choosing one lawyer over other. Internet marketing can help forge these connections. Blogs, social media, web-sites, etc. are all components of law firm internet marketing that work together to connect you to your target audience, and all at a low cost.

According to a recent Legalweek survey of 100 senior partners in the UK, almost half the respondents said that their firms are spending 3% to 5% of their annual turnover on marketing activities. A further 10% spend 5% or more. This means that a handful of top firms are spending more than £10 million annually on marketing across the firm.

To sum it up, practices that commit to build and maintain customer relationships by leveraging the pervasive power of law firm internet marketing will continue to grow, whilst others can merely hope to survive. Can you still do without internet marketing………
