Article and Video Regarding Recent Seminar On Advising and Defending Property Owners in Nuisance Actions

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in ATCP 134, Screening Tenants, Nuisance Properties, Seminars / Comments

 

On May 7, 2009 I spoke at the State Bar of Wisconsin Annual Convention.  I was asked to speak at the Government Lawyer Division's seminar that focused on the topic of neighborhoods and nuisance properties.  Specifically I was asked to speak on advising and defending property owners that have nuisance properties.

The State Bar recently published a nice article summarizing my seminar presentation which was published through its online Inside Track newsletter.  A link to the article and a short video of my presentation on the topic of written screening criteria is below.
