And They Built a Crooked House

Don't buy or build a new house until you read CROOKED HOUSE! It tells the story of one single-family home built defectively from the ground up & the awful legal consequences when the responsible people refused to fix it. The psychiatrist author & her husband, plaintiffs in one of the largest cases ever tried in Ohio, won their case against the developer, builder & architect - & lost a fortune! Crooked House is perhaps the only book in print that tells what its like to go to court over a construction case - & why the victimized homeowner can only lose. Skillfully interwoven into her story are construction reports, deposition excerpts, court exhibits & quotes from the trial testimony, so the knowledgeable reader can judge for himself or herself. The book also includes two special chapters: "It Happens Everywhere" which shows that such horrible construction & litigation problems are not unique to Ohio; & "How to Protect Yourself When Building or Buying a New Home." AND THEY BUILT A CROOKED HOUSE is a must read for anyone involved in building or buying a new house, or contemplating suit for breach of contract in a construction matter.
