I don't understand why my council, which paid $8000, still won't provide me with a correctly signed topography report with a correct legend and all the trees labeled. Could you please get that for me?

Why can't I get it?

You will help the opposing party him schedule time for a surveyor that has been to his property multiple times - Both parties clearly knew this was left off for 8 months, and sneak in a request directly to the surveyor before you closed the case....

I dunno, I guess you just felt like hiding it and not informing the policyholder of the truth..

The case is closed - and it has your name on it...This was confirmed with the court; it is closed and not on the judge's docket. According to the court, you didn't follow the court's instructions.

It is not protocol to close a case and then attempt to go back with a settlement agreement. He's been trespassing on my property for 4 years. He needs to move the fence; he is violating the court transcript.

Sarah,

I had nothing to do with the cantilever; this was brought to my attention by opposing counsel and she asked Gaddy to revise the plat so the structure was accurate. As for Todd, I did not retain his services  Gaddy did and I have not been involved in the approval/submission process; this is why we paid Gaddy to handle it on your behalf. As for the cantilever, it has no bearing on the settlement at all and was not kept from you. The plat should be accurate and Gaddy acknowledged that he missed it. Further, I have not hid anything from you. On the contrary, I have been trying to work with you to review/revise the settlement and get this finalized. Finally, as aforementioned, I didnt close the case; the staff attorney filed a case disposition form without anyones knowledge.

I am hopeful that we can focus on the case resolution and move forward with finalizing the settlement, executing the deeds, and ensuring that you receive the settlement funds in a timely manner. The case status online has no bearing on the settlement; a motion to enforce can always be filed. From a legal standpoint, you are protected and we continue to advocate for you, looking out for your best interest.

Your actions occurred back in March, and the policyholder was never informed that this ever happened. I stated in writing that I don't understand what is going on when you wrote  a bold-faced misrepresentation of a canetelieber being "forgotten" was utterly untrue.

Why would you not tell the truth - you had been working on the cantilever for over a month?

What are you hiding?

 How is your zero-communication about what you were doing to when you closed the case, fiduciary to the policyholder?

    Sarah,

    The Order was to get the plat approved and it merely stated that we had a settlement. There has been no lie or fabrication of any sort in this matter. The Order was outlined in a prior email last week, in detail, as to what the reference was to settlement agreement and why the Court hadnt reviewed any settlement agreement; I also outlined the reason settlement agreement was not a capitalized term. Maybe we should have a call to discuss so that I can clarify any remaining questions?
