Q: I am trying to find an attorney to assist us in resolving a dispute with a Calaveras County water provider.
The property in question has a home on it that has been condemmed and is not livable. We have tried to get the water turned off and the account terminated but the water co. refuses to do this and continues to charge us even though there s zero usage. They have placed a lien on the property.
