This is just a suggestion for newer lawyers. Many of the challenges with real property work require dealing with staff in the Treasurer’s, Assessor’s, Auditor’s, and Community Development offices. It is to your clients’ advantages to make friends in these departments, form good working relationships with them, and have open lines of communication when they know something you don’t. Which, in my case, is basically, always. Often, they are happy when a lawyer asks for help or direction respectfully, as opposed to what they sometimes get from other lawyers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Rob <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Robert D.
