The next round of the Constitution Law Foundation's Mock Trial Competition is coming up. Here is a link for any Sacramento area attorneys interested in volunteering: http://www.crf-usa.org/mock-tria/mock-trial-volunteers.html

It was an honor and a privilege to be able to volunteer and help score the groups of talented high school students participating in the Gordon D. Schaber Mock Trial Competition. The students commit their time to compete in at least six rounds of the competition then can advance to the state and national finals. At a young age the kids are able to take a case through pre trial motions, opening arguments, direct and cross examination and closing arguments. It is a great event to watch and be a part of.

Hopefully your foundation does not look like this, but if it does, call Schoech Law Group for a free consultation at (916)569-1940. This photograph was taken this week during destructive testing of a home in the greater Sacramento area and is indicative of expansive soil impacting a defectively designed foundation system. Expansive soils are found throughout the greater Sacramento area and Bay Area and can be devastating to houses where the foundations are not adequately designed and installed to resist the expansive soils conditions. Other signs that homes are potentially being impacted by expansive soils are sticking doors and windows, cracked drywall, cracked stucco and damaged floor coverings.

Matthew Schoech Successfully Defends Purchaser of Property in Real Estate Dispute Construction & real estate attorney, Matthew Schoech, has successfully defended a real estate dispute after the seller instituted claims for breach of contract. Mr. Schoech represented purchasers of a single family residence who were convinced by their real estate broker to pay additional funds to the seller in excess of the property’s appraised value. The purchasers contacted Anderson | Schoe...ch for a free consultation after feeling like they were duped in the transaction. It was discovered that the broker was a dual agent and also a partial owner of the property at issue all creating a severe conflict of interest and breaching the agent’s fiduciary duty owed to the buyer. A real estate agent owes a fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with the buyer. A buyer’s real estate agent also owes the duty to diligently exercise reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent’s duties, a duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith, and a duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the buyers diligent attention and observation. When an agent acts as a dual agent for the buyer and the seller these duties are heightened due to the inherent conflict of interest. Arguments were made that the dual agent was in breach of their duties owed to the seller and the matter was amicably resolved at mediation for a fraction of the amount sought by the seller. If you find yourself in a real estate transaction dispute and need an experienced real estate attorney to evaluate your case, call the law firm of Anderson|Schoech at (916) 569-1940, or send an e-mail to [email protected]. You will receive a FREE CONSULTATION and legal advice from an attorney with a track record of getting his clients as far ahead as legally possible! www.norcallawfirm.com

Solar Panel Class Action!! The northern California lawyer’s of Anderson | Schoech law firm will be filing a class action lawsuit for defective solar roof tiles against a reputable home builder in Sacramento County on behalf of a growing number of homeowners who purchased their homes from 2006-2012. The homeowners are seeking recovery for replacement of the defective roof tiles, increased utility bills, diminution in value, and other damages. The builder in this new subdivis...ion had advised the homeowners to refrain from using their solar panels as they attempted to work out a fix for the defective conditions. Recently it was determined by the builder that the repairs were ineffective. Through the Sacramento law firm’s preliminary investigation it was determined that the solar panels on several homes in the development are operating at only about 50% capacity or less. Already a homeowner has had their solar roof tiles burn out and this has also created a significant risk of fire. If your home has defective solar roof tiles which were installed as part of original construction you may have rights against your builder. Our firm handles cases on a Contingency fee basis so there are NO OUT OF POCKET COSTS and if there is no recovery, there is no fee. All owners, whether original or subsequent, may bring suit against their builder, and homes purchased through a short sale or foreclosure also qualify.
