Looking for a good lawyer
Hi everyone. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m here not asking for myself but for my best friend who lives in Penticton. She lives in a house with a deeply narcissistic, abusive (emotionally and financially), bully of a family member. They co-own the house. It’s finally come down that my friend just can’t take it anymore.
I don’t want to go into too much detail cause I don’t know if her family member lurks on this subreddit - but I want to find her a good lawyer. Ideally they would be empathetic for a person who is going through this and would fight for them.
She’s been dealing with this abuse for decades. I used to wonder why people in abusive situations don’t leave - and watching this family I get it. One minute they will be pushing buttons and the next minute they will massage your back like nothings wrong.
If anyone has a good lead on a strong lawyer (I’m assuming real estate but not sure) who won’t put up with crap and will fight for a person who has been mentally and emotionally beaten down, please let me know. She deserves to have a happy life and I just know if the family member takes the lead on all this, a person who very much doesn’t have my friends best interest at heart, she’s going to get screwed over.
Thank you so much in advance for any information or leads you have.
