18k with no contract. Can’t take these people seriously.

[@edu.Funtime]

These ppl obviously got money to spend.

[@trekgirl65]

I know, for these college educated rich people to do this without a contract, and a contractor to set up without a contract, never ends well at all.

[@glitter_and_spice1589]

I wouldn't do something for $100 without a contract but 18k 😭

[@LeviAaronx]

@@glitter_and_spice1589 😂😂💀

[@amberwavs5421]

BTW, all that money and she comes to court with THAT hair?

[@quitifa]

Why do people hire a contractor without a literal contract? It’s in the name.

[@shirleywiese5230]

😂😂

[@mimim8532]

Good one….and so true!

[@ryans413]

Dude wants 18k for the project okay but he can’t start on time and then complains about still not getting paid.

[@naturallyrad]

The mom may have been unaware but the contractor was a scammer.

[@Fatbby]

This guy just didn't want to do the job because it wasn't well organized, and that was due to HIS neglect. I think he just got overwhelmed and said screw it i'm not doing the job, but he has no one to blame but himself

[@AC081361]

Omg listening to the plaintiff was exhausting… just spit it out 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Jay-nj2gk]

😂 I thought that it was just me feeling that way 😂😂😂😂

[@WarGrowlmon18]

He's a CONtractor.

[@kitaboo2245]

Good one

[@marleonetti7]

too many young lone wolf contractors who take on jobs that are bigger than they can handle so they find a way out AFTER they collect some up front money . but i do think the demo work he started to do was still worth some money , like 500 bucks because the pictures showed quite a bit of demo that he had done .

[@Red-lu3ku]

💯

[@arianefr78]

He said there were red flags, but all the red flags were against him, I think she got really lucky because he would probably have botched the whole thing. No contract, doesn't buy the materials, doesn't start on time, changes the basics and breaches the contract again and again...

[@chelseablack]

Is Judge Milian from a Contractor family? 😆

[@Marshallpassmore]

Yes father and brother I think she said before

[@michellerolle7632]

Yes she is , she talks about it all the time on the show .

[@nBasedAce]

I'm not sure. I haven't heard her constantly repeat it almost every show! 😂

[@lindseyyoung9149]

Went over their heads. Lol

[@chelseablack]

@@lindseyyoung9149 Bless, I think so. It's cute when people answer literally 😇

[@lee4094]

This mother was suppose to be in charge of her grown daughter and son in law house 🤔. She has no clue what she is doing, even I know you should get a contract and how much to put down. She doesn’t know how to take charge of something like this,she’s clueless. $18,000 with no contract seriously🫣🤔. Even if he didn’t have her sign a contract even small projects have proper contracts.

[@channel69gorlworldnews66]

I’m surprised the grown children didn’t organize this 🤦🏽‍♀️ most other adults have to

[@Greenmachine79]

Why is a 25 yo couple unable to handle their own household renovations?

[@cynthiawallace7108]

Because she's in charge, and it's probably hey property..

[@yunaislol]

Cause mommy’s payin 💪🏼

[@stephanietheslayer8441]

Cause she’s paying and in all likelihood it’s a wedding “gift”

[@channel69gorlworldnews66]

Because mommy is paying for it 😂😂😂

[@susanmetcalf8009]

She should have used an experienced contractor with a contract.

[@claraesparza7030]

Exactly. If I was spending this kind of money, I would use a contractor that provides me with a contract. That's just ridiculous. We're not talking about a few hundred dollars this is thousands.

[@mariaisupov6401]

And, god forbid, a licensed professional?! I'm no expert but both plumbing AND Electrical are no small deals...

He needs a license!

Especially with that kind of money

I am OBSESSED with Doug LOL he is too funny!

[@HHH-ye1ro]

The plaintiff got a hairdo in the early 90s, and said, “this is gonna be my look for the rest of my life.”

Hey Guys the judge comes from a contractor family. 🤭🤭🤣🤣

Can someone explain the joke I don’t get if

[@onasamaya1]

She is. What is so funny? 🧐

[@Begotts]

Yeah, I thought I heard that… she’s the daughter of a contractor. 🤦🏻

[@SAV1080p]

The joke is that she always brings it up when ever there’s a contractor is involved 😂

[@lillianbrown7543]

Why didn't she get other estimates 🤔

[@channel69gorlworldnews66]

That would make too much sense She probably picked the cheapest option honestly

[@Primitive_Code]

The defendant wasn't taking any more salt on the wound from Doug.

[@bash547]

The exit’s on his left.

[@RodBlagojevich-he1pk]

Doug is the GOAT. I want to see a “Curb Your Enthusiasm”-type show with him as the lead.

[@PeopleRTheProblem]

That’s a low bar. He just repeats what everyone already knows.

[@madmemadhouseme4885]

That could be interesting. 🙂

[@Charlene-fi1sr]

He's shady, but must be doing well enough that he can afford to walk away from a big ticket project. And the plaintiff didn't do her daughter any favors, lol. She initially came across as being knowledgable and well informed, but that went out the window when she started talking. No contract? She should have insisted, or stopped right there. And why would she (or the defendant) think it it would be best for her to buy the materials? So much room for error!

[@Fribee83]

There was a huge shake-up in the contracting world at the start of the pandemic. A lot of the older contractors who were making big money weren't retiring prior to the pandemic which meant there was a blockage in advancement so if you were an apprentice, you'd continue to be one for years it there were fewer positions available and the market was crowded. Once covid happened, a lot of the older people who were making the money retired but the people under them didn't have the proper experience on running a business and the people under them didn't have experience as a foreman, and the people under them-you get the idea. So suddenly the whole industry was suddenly shifting up and since people were spending more time in their homes due to lockdowns which had people wanting to renovate and improve their living spaces with paint, flooring, cabinets, etc. That meant a lot of new contractors and construction workers were starting their business but without any of the experience they should have in a market flooded that they could charge high prices. It's why the defendant didn't have a contract or know the basics about running the business on credit; he just knew how to do the labor. It's kind of a fascinating study in labor.

[@JB.2414]

Damn that’s a good point I wouldn’t have thought of it that way

[@trekgirl65]

Plaintiff is shady also, no contract and just feed the defendant money and nothing to account for it on her side, no contract. WOW!

[@channel69gorlworldnews66]

You’d think she’s would walk away after no contract 😂😂😂😂

[@aaronflores21af]

Him walking away was probably going back to work for his boss were he gained the so called experience lol

[@krystalroller2915]

My mother passed away in 2007 and was 38 years old and she had this style. Buy, it was shorter and she crimped the longer hair and curled the top haha.

[@JB.2414]

How ironic that the word “Contract” is literally in the contractors name.

[@Mocharocks9966]

Something is off with the defendant

[@ItsMyWorld617]

Those bangs though.....

[@derinaries]

Plaintiff's rockin the og Karen hair.

[@debrastone2198]

Maybe the defendant could talk to the Judge about how to make contracts for construction. That might help him with his business.

[@briantoebben3095]

When will the judge be humble enough to admit being related to contractors doesn't make you an expert in building a dang thang. I get using your own experience as knowledge but constantly referring to her family members being contractors doesn't mean you have absorbed or gained the knowledge and comprehension of the job itself and what it takes!

[@lukerinderknecht2982]

What was she wrong about in the video? The Home Depot account situation? Or the fact a Contractor should have.. I dunno... a contract?

[@allieb770]

Maybe she listened & paid attention to what was going on around her. She lived at home until mid-late 20's.

Is she mansplaining to him why you need a contract? I know she loves that word but she is no different and I think he knows better now about needing a contract,he was just starting out as he explained so she needs to now explain why a contract is important because she knows better!

[@michaelrosemonde7115]

Yes she is from a contractors family.

[@coastguyd]

she still stole a lot of labor from the contractor. he didn't handle it well, but she wasn't paying what she should.

[@aprilmorris4588]

I took a contractor's accounting class in college that was given by a former contractor. He said the hard and fast rule about money 🤑 is that you, the contractor, take a third of the money up front for supplies and maybe some early wages; another third at the halfway point; the final third + any cost overruns (providing you don't renegotiate as you go along) when it's finished. I'm really shocked that more of them don't follow that simple and effective "rule."

[@anarahmafe]

The young couple (is 25 young?!) need a liaison, but they're hiring somebody to add a bathroom to their house?! Apparently, having lots of money "trumps" clear thinking. "PS" I hate when JM and the plaintiff talk over each other! 18K and nothing in writing? Absolutely crazy. He agreed to other jobs because this one was looking nutty! The fact that he's new is no excuse for his avoiding a contract!! (Did he miss the day of class about contracts?) "Mom" could have been a little better on paperwork?! 😂

I love how Doug and the judge can determine a bad contractor because he made a decision not to do the job after waiting four weeks for money and making a decision. I understand it usually the other way around, but it wasn’t… Oh, I forgot she’s the daughter of a contractor.

He says he just saw too many red flags. Like what? He says, like there wasn't a contract from the beginning and there was a big delay.......... Which were his doing. Yep. There were red flags all right. About him. And under what circumstance can he walk away from the job and literally keep the money for the materials that he never bought?!? He really believes this is how you treat customers and do business? Buyer beware.

[@lauraanne5175]

I've known and worked for people like the plaintiff, very condescending and self-righteous.

[@ebonypegasus9864]

If she could prove that the boston terrier was misrepresented to be a more expensive breed... or that she got a crossbred when she wanted a purebred and they misrepresented... she could get her money back BUT she'd also have to return the puppy to the breeder. She would have to have some kind of proof other than a vet's say so, as that's just an opinion, not solid proof. When buying a puppy, always ask to see the parents of the puppy so you have a better idea of what it will look like when it grows up! If you want a purebred, do your research on the breeder. Bottom line is... puppies are wonderful even when they aren't purebreds. $100 is a bargain for a puppy!

[@Anthony-fe4oj]

Close your eyes and listen…..I hear Billy Bob Thornton !!

Is it normal for judges to disrespect the defendants and the plaintifs? When the judge told her don't just bark out something, I thought that was a bit uncalled for. Am I wrong?

[@amberwavs5421]

She hired a child. What did she expect? $18k job, and she hires someone fresh off the press. She's not too bright. He obviously bit off more than he could chew, realized this before the dumb lady, and threw in the towel, keeping the grand for his trouble.

[@silverdreams3]

I really don't like that guy who talks to them after the case is concluded. 😅 i like hearing what the plantiff and defendant have to say, but i feel like he's trying to "stick 'em".
