Defendant is a scheister. He is quoting one price in the contract to create 5 pieces of custom made furniture, then falls down on the job and tries to charge her the whole deposit for ONE PIECE. On top of that he took forever. Good thing the plaintiff had a contract, emails, and text messages to prove her case. Good for her!!

[@marleonetti7]

when are people gonna learn NEVER PAY ANYTHING UP FRONT . plaintiff would not have to go through this had she only did business with someone who does not ask for up front money . u pay when the job is done and if they need materials then u go with them to get the materials or u buy them yourself to make sure they have been purchased with your hard earned money . this contractor finished the jobs for people who told him he would get paid when he finished the job .

[@stevepuy1510]

He’s a lowlife crook

[@wvrjl]

​@@marleonetti7- You normally do have to pay a deposit upfront, because the person has to buy materials, and he's not going to do that when he doesn't know if you're going to pay him when he's done. This guy was obviously pure scum, and a thief and a fraud, but it is normal to pay a deposit. Try getting a lawyer without paying one, unless it's a slam-dunk civil case where he's going to win a lot of money.

[@emilydevlin2961]

Although it could be that the Defendant's skills might not be up to par, I think cost also played a big role! I think the Defendant just said a price to get the job, but didn't do his homework! Once he realized he underbid the job, by A LOT, he tried to pull a switcheroo! Then instead of just giving back Plaintiff's money, he was greedy! I don't think $5,500 would even cover the cost of all those materials anymore! Once the pandemic started, cost of those materials skyrocketed! 🤑💸

Judge Milian, I am so glad you let this individual have it. I recently order furniture (from a country I won’t mention the name, across the border) and the work was simply sloppy from beginning to end. First, they didn’t make the furniture to my specifications, never sent me pictures after requesting them several times, and kept delaying the delivery time. After complaining to the owner of the company, he was so senile, and assured me the furniture would last me decades. I had asked for wood and instead got some tri-play junk that was half ass done. Unfortunately, the laws don’t apply in this country and I so wish there was a judge like you here that stands up for consumers like the plaintiff and me. So annoyed just thinking about it.

[@sashabenoit1518]

100% agree! And that's not totally true.. There are 2 ways you can be awarded for more than just what you are out of pocket. You can get punitive damages (basically a punishment for extremely poor behavior to deter them from doing it again) against the defendant, if it seems fitting for the case and in this case I think it most certainly does! She definitely could have asked for it as part of her suit but even if she didn't, the Judge has the power to make changes to the case that matches the evidence the way she sees fit and could certainly tack on punitive damages for a case like this! At the very least I expected her to at least award the plaintiff with pre-judgement statutory interest from the time she gave him the money.. it's not a whole lot but it at least gives her a little something for her troubles and makes a statement to the defendant! Usually she does award the interest on cases like this when they just don't seem to have any remorse and end up pissing JM off, which he certainly did!

Some of this requires a translation.

I once contracted an outfit to stucco my house and before the job started, the contractor said the job would take about a week. Well, TWO MONTHS LATER, WHEN IT WAS STARTING TO GET COLD OUTSIDE, THE JOB STILL HADN'T BEEN COMPLETED. I wish I had been watching court shows on tv back then, I would have known about the " time is of the essence " clause and had it put in the contract. Lesson learned.
