Do I have a case for small claims court if my friends kept more than half of the payout for a vehicle that was mine?

Answered 8 years and 6 months ago by Michael G Heilmann (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury

Your fact scenario does not sound like it falls into one of those exceptions.... Read More
