I can get some backwoods attorney to do something for $200 but if you're gonna retain a real lawyer it costs some money

The only lawyer in Houston worth $1000 for a letter is Joe Jamail, and he's dead. A (junior) partner at Skadden Arps only bills $500/hr.

So you skipped going there or pushing the bank to handle it, and got a high priced attorney because you have not heard back inside less than a week?

It's sounding more like a brag thread than real life.


Did you even read what I posted? Its been over 90 days. The law is actually 45 days apparently for the dealer to send the title. My banker called me monday and let me know that I needed to see what was going on and how to get it resolved, after 4 days of no response from the dealership, the banker suggested an attorney. If it was a subtle brag thread I wouldve said I bought X car paid X amount and here's a picture.

As for what I paid, it wasn't merely for a letter. It was for retaining his services but thanks for the wise remarks. I can always count on those, thats why I included my own of not needing a lesson in personal finance.

I appreciate the people with the helpful insights so far, Im just worried that whoever the bank is for the place I bought it from is the real owner of the car and could repossess mine. Thats why I went ahead and hired my attorney. A bank lends money to the dealership and when I paid for mine the dealership is supposed to pay off the car to their lender and get the title. This apparently is not happening so we have a problem.
