Should I sue this artist

Answered 7 years and 10 months ago by Michael Edward Fiffik (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It seems to me that you abandoned the project.  Why didn't you just tell him you wanted him to adjust the initial drafts? That would have been a normal part of the process.  I think he's done his part at this point for the half you paid him.

Unless the entity is a US company - and its sounds like this is a Chinese entity, you likely SOL and such is the risk of dealing with international entities to work in a Communist country. The amount in dispute alone renders any legal action impractical.

How to do I file a judicial partition suit in NYS Supreme Court

Answered 7 years and 10 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
I don't think a partition action is your proper course of action.  Rather I believe you need to seek relief in the context of the matrimonial action, perhsps a motion for contempt since your ex seems to be deliberately frustrating the Court's judgment (I assume the settlement agreement was incorporated in the judgment or otherwise memorialized as an order of the Court)....

Yes, but it may have to be in writing, since contracts that cannot fully be performed in one year are required to be in writing.  Also, if you donlt hae it in writing, there is no guarantee that the court will believe your story rather than your sister's who may claim, for example, that she agreed only to make payments on the car so long as she used it....

If you paid with a credit card, why not call your credit card company and see if they'll reverse the charges?  They may have a dispute resolution process.  If that doesn't work, then you can file a claim with your local magistrate.  The problem is collecting if you get a judgment, especially if the company is not in Pennsylvania.  I'd try the credit card company and see if that will work for you. ...

I lent someone money, $5000.,. Had them sign a promissory note that was due to be paid back Oct 2017. Can a lein be put against their condo?

Answered 7 years and 11 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
Unless your contract (or a statute, like a mechanic's lien) provideed for it, you can't impress a lien on the debtor's property until you obtain a court judgment that she owes you the money you claim.  You must sue her for breach of the  loan contract.  When you win and get a judgment, you will be able to utilize a variety of collection devices to collect on the judgment, including placing liens on her assets (e.g. the condo) and foreclosing on them.  Of course, if she has no equity in the condo, and no other assets to pay back the debt, you may not be able to collect anyway....

You needto talk to a "collections" laywer. Be prepared for a lack of interest unless you are paying up front fees, or a big chunk of collected funds as most collection law firms are not excited about hard to collect "one off" accounts. IN the future NEVER let a customer/client get deeper into your pocket financially than you can afford to walk away from. ... Read More
