Need Advice on Misdemeanor Charges

[__w__]

alright...first off, unless you live somewhere that is extremely different from the rest of the world, they are going to have a hard time pinning this all on you. You really need to get a lawyer that specializes in "Real Estate Law"...This means skip the guy that wrote up your buddies divorce and find somebody that actually knows what's going on. Next, did you sell these through a real estate office? Do you hold the lein on all of them, or did some of the people finance their purchase? Next, whom holds title to all these parcels? I'm guessing that the people that bought them have recorded the transaction at the "register of deeds". Unless you really pulled off something shady, you should be able to prove that it is as much of a government error as it was a crime by you. Most local governments require split approval prior to recording ownership of a newly created parcel. That approval should have came from either the township or county level. If you never recieved that, and the county let you proceed with the split/sale of 45 parcels, I'm pleading ignorance. Also, if you had a real estate agent involved in all this, I would be looking at fileing a complaint with the state board against them, and maybe even looking at a lawsuit against them, and their firm. Any agent worth two beans shouldn't have let you find this much trouble.

If you are in the clear, don't hesitate to take it to court. Alot of times, I have found that local governments use this stuff as a scare tactic, when a couple greedy pricks just want a kickback. Whatever you do, don't grease any palms, 'cause they will screw you in the end. Trust me.
