My family sold property in the DR, Santiago. It has been 3 years since and we have not received full payment. At this time we retained another attorney for help in finishing sale. This attorney upon reading contact stated your attorney sold out. The wording in contact totally screwed us. The was it was written they had no intentions of paying.
So slowly we are winning but the loss of money is massive, tens of thousands of dollars were loss.
This attorney took advantage of our lack of understanding of the Spanish language. We are Dominican born raised in the USA, and American citizens. We asked the correct questions in the sale, and was told by that attorney that we are protected. We were told that the sale was basically cut and dry, as we had all the correct papers and no issues in deed.
What can we do? Can this attorney be brought to justice. Another note this attorney was removed from judgeship as she was found to commit a crime of corruption ( this was found out later)
