My friend sold her business a liquor store with so much down and so much owed on time payments spread out over a few years. Part if this included the inventory to be spread out over six montly payments. As of eight months, he has yet to pay a cent of the inventory and now he is not paying the monthly dues. To his credit there was a flood in the business which has now been closed for three or four months and his excuse is that he is "waiting" for the insurance to pay up. However he didn't pay a cent of the inventory for the three months prior to the flood. If I have read the contract correctly, if he defaults on the payments the business goes back to her. The first lawyer she hired hasn't done squat to help her out and is very slow to respond to her questions and requests. We both think she should find another lawyer but neither of us know of any. How does one go about locating a good lawyer in their neighborhood and for this type of problem, should she be looking for a lawyer of a certain speciality?
