You are not a lawyer, neither am I. (I've already asked two lawyers, but they couldn't answer anyway.) But, I've always been curious about this: Imagine Alice is a thief. She steals something from Bob, then sells it (eBay, CraigsList, through a pawn shop, whatever) to Dave. Coincidence of coincidences, Bob knows Dave, and sees his stolen object at Dave's house during Dave's Christmas party. Bob can provide proof this something was stolen from him, but Dave could not have been expected to know that's how Alice got it. Who has rights to this object?

[San Antonio Probate/Real Estate Attorney filter] Can anyone from the Hive recommend a good probate/real estate attorney in San Antonio or surrounding areas. Requirements are that this lawyer be a real go-getter and not afraid to stand up against other attorneys on our behalf. I don't want a good ol' boy that's going to become chummy with the other attorneys representing the others in this case as has happened recently with our present attorney. I want someone that's smart, ethical, and a bit of a scrapper.
