You should contact our office ASAP to schedule a free case assessment with our real estate attorney to discuss the facts, history, economics, record title, communications between you and the "owner," your desired outcome, options, process, the law, how we can help, costs, etc. Just call 303-688-0944 or schedule at robandhen.wpengine.com/locations.
