After the sale of a building my business had been renting for a year, the new owner decided to sue me for almost 1/3 of the ENTIRE purchase price of the building and property with it. Despite the fact that the building was over 25 years old and had sat vacant for almost 5 years, I was forced to defend a lawsuit that accused myself, my business and my employees of "allowing considerable waste" to the property. Because I am not a resident of the state of Alabama, I began to investigate the possibility of hiring local representation. I was previously acquainted with Mr. Gunther through some other business dealings in previous years. Because he was the only lawyer I knew in Alabama, I asked him for his professional opinion on the basis of the lawsuit. After reviewing the facts of the case, he not only agreed that we were not at fault, but offered to represent me in defending the suit. Little occurred at first. One side filed for discovery, the other side replied. Despite the tedium of these filings, Mr. Gunther not only kept me informed, but assisted me in preparing well in advance for what the next move of the opposing council would be. When the case was finally heard in court, Mr. Gunther not only stood by my side, but did an extraordinary job of disproving the accusations against me and my business. The case was decided in my favor with a total payment to the new owner of the building of ZERO Dollars. Throughout the process, I was comforted by Mr. Gunther's easy manner and attention to detail. His confidence in the unjust nature of the case filed against me boosted mine dramatically. In the end, I was tremendously pleased with his handling of the case as well as his ability to limit the out of pocket expenses I may have had to dedicate toward handling the situation had I hired lessor quality representation.
