Need a lawyer in/near WNY for complicated problem

Need a lawyer in/near WNY for complicated problem

Member since 2023 · 4 posts · 1 vote

A family member quit claimed a property to me 5-10 years ago, and I leased it back to them. They've been nothing but a royal pain in my *** since then (including harassment and blackmail) and I'm at my wits end. Every lawyer I've met with locally has said it's too complicated / outside their purview because it involves estate / elder / tenant / civil law issues simultaneously. Hoping someone here knows a lawyer who can deal with probably the most complicated and insane situation you've ever heard of.

    Sell the property

    The person has threatened to contest the quit claim if I try to sell, a credible threat given their history. They've demonstrated a willingness to lie to law enforcement etc. Even if they have no case, I'd rather go on the legal offensive and try to keep the property if I'm going to be paying lawyers anyway if I try to sell.
