does he have the agreement?
is it notarized?
are there any other witnesses?
the burden of proof will be upon your friend. the defense will say the name is forged, etc etc, since i know this kid didn't get it notarized.
and what does a lawyer with a free consult have to do with anything? how does that make them "good". As far as i knew, every lawyer has to give a free initial consult.
basically, your little buddy is going to be paying...lawyer fees, court costs, expert witness fees, etc etc. and by the sounds of the cars involved, the court expenses for him to sue for the title are going to exceed the cost of the car in question dramatically, and still may not get the title.
