I'm sorry for the stressful situation you have been placed into. It could be difficult for an attorney to offer a simple, direct answer to your question in the brief post without knowing more details, and figuring out what happened here.

You could look into utility lawyers, but if you're thinking along the lines of electric utilities/energy in the category you chose, those law firms tend to be geared more toward large oil, energy, gas, or mineral rights matters.

If venue for the action was in Missouri, another... View More

If they installed the system, they are not going to let you terminate the contract. News 12 just did a report on this. The UCC is not a lien on the whole house, just the solar system. The problem is that some banks do not know how to read it so it is an issue on refinance.
