CSpenceFLY 1 #1 March 2, 2009 I have an attorney in Macon that has owed me money for some time. Not alot of money($330.) At this point I don't expect to ever get paid and it has turned into a personal/principle of the matter thing. What do you think my chances of being sued would be if I had a t-shirt made stating on the front that this person owed me money with a copy of the invoice on the back?

regulator 0 #2 March 2, 2009 I say screw it... Go get the T-Shirt and stand in front of his office. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. So I have never heard of someone getting sued for defamation of character for wearing a t-shirt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought her head was going to explode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #6 March 2, 2009 About a year ago a local tire shop did something similar on their sign they put "Joe Blow (I dont' remember the actual name) Please Pay Your Bill $862 Thank You" It was up there for a good 6 months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanHarrop 41 #7 March 2, 2009 I suggest small claims court. $330 isn't that much but it will pay for your time in court, which shouldn't be long."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #8 March 2, 2009 Probably would not cost much at all to place an ad in "Announcements" or Classifieds in the local Paper asking if she ever intended to pay the money she owed you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dzdaveu47 0 #11 March 2, 2009 It's a small claim handled by the local JP or court. Just go to the local court and file a claim. All it will cost you is a day in court. Good luck.

lawrocket 3 #15 March 3, 2009 Hit the attorney where it hurts. Check here to see if any rules apply to this situation. http://www.gabar.org/handbook/part_iv_after_january_1_2001_-_georgia_rules_of_professional_conduct/ Then make a little suggestion to him.

davelepka 4 #16 March 3, 2009 It appears that - Quote(d) Upon termination of representation, a lawyer shall take steps to the extent reasonably practicable to protect a client's interests, such as giving reasonable notice to the client, allowing time for employment of other counsel, surrendering papers and property to which the client is entitled and refunding any advance payment of fee that has not been earned. The maximum penalty for a violation of this Rule is a public reprimand. I think your T-shirt idea falls under the heading of a 'public reprimand', no?

It will be a news sensation and a news crew will plaster your story on the 6 oclock news. Lawyer... name... is...a... cheap... crook... who... doesn't... pay... bills...
