Re: bathroom ripout
Whether or not you should hire a competent attorney to represent you is your choice. I would strongly recommend you consult with an attorney, especially since there are criminal ramifications involved. You could be incriminating yourself at the hearing.
Consumer Affairs is only determining if you did what is being alleged, and if you were licensed. Nassau County is very aggressive about this.
