Disputes are never easy and most of the time I deal with builder's breach of promise. I have had grown men and women cry in front of me with broken dreams, wellbeing destroyed and finances ruined. However occasionally I get to do reports for a builder who becomes entrapped victim of unscrupulous and predatory owner.
This is part of my profile on my web site: "Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of our job is expression of hope and confidence on client's faces that often replaces utter despair".
Just having sent expert witness report for a builder, a family man facing utter financial ruin and perhaps more than that in a particularly acrimonious and nasty dispute, I got this email reply:
Thanks, Branko.
This sounds very good - I am almost in tears and appreciate your objective and candid manner...
Please see pdf attached with some comments.
I will also call to follow up, perhaps once you have reviewed the comments.
Regards and many many thanks
Like your profile states, you do replace the look on my face with hope
At this stage, I have about 12 references, as well as a statement of mitigation and a letter from myself
Regards.
