The defendant hired the plaintiff to work on her kitchen, but the plaintiff says the defendant gave him a bad check, so he’s suing for unpaid wages. The defendant argues the plaintiff didn’t get the job done in time, and she had to hire someone else to take over.

    Elderly people occasionally try to use their age to con people out of their money... classic case! The contractor honoured every part of his obligation... its too bad that a good contractor had to go through this to get his money.

    If this started on Sept 29th and he got back with a custom countertop in the 3rd week of November, that's not long. I've ordered custom counters, and they can take anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks, depending on materials.

    He said ”She LOVE to lie”! 😂😂😂
  • You can’t return a CUSTOMIZED COUNTERTOP.. DUHH.. WHY DON’T THE JUDGE KNOW THAT.
  • @mikieanthony777

    Doug is always so SAVAGE with his questioning and comments!! The lady was about to walk away and he just hadd to remind her that "You are guilty!"
  • @wezzman1
    JM likes to shout about being the daughter of a contractor, but failed to realise that custom orders can take weeks to be delivered..... selective rage because this was an old lady.

    The plantif didn't want anything more than what he was owed. Looks like the defendants accepted they were in the wrong at the end. Had a good laugh over it

    The defendants husband looks like Frank from Everybody Loves Raymond

    y’all cannot blame him for explaining his case he isn’t interrupting the judge he’s informing her . I don’t care how threatened she felt she shouldn’t have wrote a bad check which is why she is here .
  • Judge Milian always saying her family is contractors but a contractor knows that a custom made anything will take time. sept 29 - November is 6-8 weeks VERY STANDARD and not unreasonable.

    The woman was well aware of her actions, and she's fortunate he didn't pursue a criminal case against her. Despite completing the flooring work, the man never received payment for his actual labor; only the money for the ordered countertop. It appears she hoped to get away with not compensating him for the additional work. Even though the countertop installation took longer than anticipated, she should have realized she was still obligated to pay for the other services rendered. Since the countertop was custom-ordered, there's no option to return it for a refund, leaving her responsible for its cost. The man had been generous, charging only $550 for the countertop. However, he made an error by commencing additional work without securing some form of payment. It would have been prudent to ensure she paid for materials and half the labor cost upfront before starting any further tasks.
  • Sometimes this judge irks me. I can't put my finger on it, but I have noticed with certain people she likes to talk to them like they are dumb. She knew what she was doing that's why she didn't tell her husband until after. And almost got him beat up😂😂😂😂.
