Hello Army Judge,
A company posted blatant lies to defame me on this online forum. My lawyer told me to just remove my post, since he thinks that in a way I provoked them.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. They posted blatant lies and I can prove them wrong. So, is it really a good idea...
Yes, $9k would work for me. I contacted several lawyers for civil litigation. Two lawyers almost "cheated" me by asking for both contingency fee and hourly rate at the same time.
I managed to find and talked to 2 very nice lawyers (cccccc, and dddddd). They both told me that it will take a lot...
Can they try do this: point out that the "amount being disputed" is $14k, and say that they are willing to pay $5k provided that it settles all the dispute? I.e. they don't have to admit that they owe $14k total, they just say "amount being disputed", or "amount claimed by plaintiff".
Well, I...
Thanks again Army Judge :-)
The company's owner, xxxxxxx, is a millionaire. His apartment alone is worth $1.3 million (you can google his name, and the building name). So collection may not be difficult. I guess they can still declare bankruptcy.... But if they do that, I will make a website...

Thanks again for your time and advice. I just called NY city small claim clerk at 718 618-2518. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to reach someone right away.
I was going to ask whether I can have a say on what dates I'm not available for the trial and whether the...
Hey Army Judge :-)
I'm going forward with this. I'm reading about the rules of small claims court. It's a little tricky situation for me, because I reside in northern New York state and the company made me sign a contract that says any dispute must be resolved in NY city. This is the problem...
Army Judge saves the day!
Thanks again Army Judge :-) I think you saved me. But I found out something while reading up on small claims. Here's what I found:
"Can I sue for more than $5000 in Small Claims Court?
No. If your claim is for more than $5000, you must start a civil
case. You...
First of all, thank you very much for making such a forum possible.
I'm in NY state. A start up company owes me 2 months of payment which totaled more than $5,000. My question is: is it possible to sue them in small claim court for 1 month payment? This way, it will be less than the limit for...
