Depreciation in prooerty re-sale value due to disclosure of mold damage
My property suffered extensive mold (including black mold) and water damage and remained unrepaired for one year. The property is now fixed after I filed a lawsuit against the defendants.
It is my understanding that I am entitled to ''future damages'' when I disclose the existence of mold to prospective buyers in the future and suffer a depreciation in the re-sale value of my property.
Are there attorneys who can take my case and help me out?
Thank you.

You also need to look at what you settled in the lawsuit. The standard Release says any and all claims resulting from the incident. Was the dismissal with or without prejudice. Find out from your prior attorney what was released and if he knew of the future damages claim and accidentally settled that without getting anything for it you might have a malpractice suit against your attorney.
