Clients complained work preformed by their contractor in building a residence for them was defective in that the basement foundation leaked when it rained, leaving water on the basement floor. Clients sued and having already made necessary repairs to the basement on their own, obtained settlement wherein the contractor agreed to build at his own expense a garage for the premises.

Clients complained of sinking soil under a four plex they purchased from the seller that had knowledge of the condition that created significant costs to sustain the foundation of the premises from deteriorating further. After motions for summary judgement by the defendant were lost, he agreed to settle by payment to the clients of damages complained of for the necessary repairs.

Clients had leased their residence for nearly two years on a lease option agreement that allowed them a favorable purchase price on or before the end of the term of the agreement. Three months before the two years were over the clients decided to buy the premises and notified the landlord who declined to sell at the original purchase price offering further costs to be paid to allow the sale. The clients sued for breach of contract and for damages amounting to the fair market value of the home plus claimed fraud alleging the landlord never intended to sell at the agreed price invoking a claim for punitive damages triple the value of the home. Upon receipt of the complaint the landlord immediatly sold the residence to the clients to dismiss the suit.
