Yes this is why my attorney said not worth it to pay to sue in general civilian court. At end of the day just a judgment so might as well do small claims “for free”
How did u win?
It was early on in my business and my business partner and I didn't really know what we were doing other than how to network and get contracts. Since we didn't really know what we were doing we sub contracted another company to do the work. One month they didn't pay their employees, even though we had paid the company the agreed upon subcontract rate. The employees refused to work unless they were paid so I paid them directly and they started working directly for us and then we went took the guy that owned the company we were subcontracting to to small claims court for 3500 (or something like that) which was the amount he didn't pay the workers and I had to pay out of pocket.
Anyways judgement was in our favour but we never saw a cent because the guy was broke and claimed bankruptcy on that business and then put a new business in his girlfriends name.
Live and learn.
Right it’s always suing the business not the person
Remember the thief wants you to be defeated, don't let him win
File the lien and revoke his license
you sue both
Pierce the corporate veil and the person can't hide behind corporation limited liability
File a lien against the defendant
You have to play the long game
Years ago I won a judgment, didn't get paid, filed a lien and then a few years later defendant came begging to remove the lien
Was it worth it? If you had to do it again would you take them to court?
It didn't cost much to go to small claims court but it was a bit of a pain in the ass and we didn't recover any money so not really worth it. I probably wouldn't do it again.
Yea only $75 to file, but a LOT of effort!
How much are you suing them for?
$7500
Max is $12,500 in small claims
Steal his car
or hire a professional to steal his car
Does the contractor have kids? kidnap his children
Does contractor have a wife or girlfriend? hire ex convicts to kidnap and gang rape her
you will feel better
Judges can't collect payment for you.
Judges can't enforce their judgement.
If everyone ignored judgements, judges would quickly realize how powerless they are
Judge Marshall has made his ruling and now he can enforce it
I went to small claims court once and won but never got paid the judgement. Can't get blood from a stone. I hope it goes well for you.
