Legal Question

[CSpenceFLY 1]

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?

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.

Send him a bill. Add a late fee.

Oh, it's way pasy that. I've taken to embarrassment. Last time I saw her at the grocery store I got behind her in line and asked her for a check when she started to pay for her items. I thought her head was going to explode.

Well, maybe you should offer to let her pay you with her credit card next time?

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.

I suggest small claims court.

$330 isn't that much but it will pay for your time in court, which shouldn't be long.

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.

There you go, Spence. Get some of those magnetic signs and put something like that on the sides of your truck.

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. Lawyers ..they do think there special!

Read icculus, the helping freindly book.

Careful, I'm the official lawyer basher around here.

Go to small claims court. It is not a big deal here in
Florida.

I had to sue a lawyer for $375 and got my money.

Good luck

You know, it's 99% of the lawyers that give the rest of them a bad name.

Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.

Hit the attorney where it hurts. Check here to see if any rules apply to this situation.

Then make a little suggestion to him.

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?
