Can somebody refer me to a good real estate attorney in or around Montebello, CA?

Last month, I bought a house. The seller claimed that it was well-maintained, in "excellent condition." The inspector I hired said it was a great starter home. He said it was in move-in condition, copper plumbing and good electrical.

In reality, it's been a real-life Tom Hanks movie----the money pit. When we took the rugs out, we found water damage. When we took wall paneling down, we found no insulation, unsealed windows and doors. The "copper plumbing" was rotting. The pipe under one of the bathrooms wasn't connected to the sewer line. The pipes from the laundry area were connected to the toilet and to the kitchen sink.

The electrical was a disaster. 1 line fed the whole house; there were burnt wires everywhere. And they used plastic instead of metal casings.

The buyer's agent I had has been of no use; he already got his commission.

It's costing me about $50,000 (at last count) to move into my "move-in condition," "excellent condition" house.
