Hello,
I am trying to get my title for a property purchased over two years ago and the lawyer who was paid in advance to perform all the legal work for the transfer has been lying, cheating, running away, etc for the last 6 months. This was after the money was transfered to his account to pay the transfer taxes.
I am currently in Saman? peninsula to push matters forward but have run into a brick wall. According to the latest version of events from this lawyer, he has paid everything, including the transfer taxes but that just in January there is a new law requiring the prepayment of 1% of the assets of the selling company for the upcoming year.
The brick wall? He claims to have paid everything but can never produce documents or receipts as proof, he says he will show everything at tal y tal hora pasado ma?ana, and then at the meeting he has nothing and says oh, it's in another office.
The other brick wall is that, although i know that i can submit a complaint to the supreme court against him for not processing my case or responding to my communications, I want a lawyer who is competent and will go after this guy and around here no one fits the bill.
Three questions:
1. In order to process my case against this "lawyer", does the case have to be heard in the supreme court in Santo Domingo or is there another venue that is closer to Saman??
2. Where can i find a lawyer (recommendations please) close to where the case would be lodged and heard that is competent and willing to go after this shameless character to extract the money that was paid for legal services and the transfer taxes and strip him of his license?
3. Do i have to use a lawyer to file a complaint against him or can i lodge the complaint myself?
Thanks in advance
