Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice on what to do regarding a personal loan. I loaned my boss $15,000 last May and she has now cut off all contact with me and is refusing to pay me back. During her proposition she offered to give me an extra $3,000 in interest, therefore making the total owed amount $18,000. At this point I don't even care as much about the interest but I do want my original amount back. I've contacted 2 lawyers and had a certified letter sent to her from my first lawyer letting her know she has 10 days to start paying me or I will take her to court. The letter was returned to the law office, so she either didn't receive it or refused to sign for it? I'm not sure. My lawyer says we can move forward with filing a lawsuit, but it'll cost $1,500 just to get started with the suit (I've already put in $700 in legal fees) and then $350 an hour after that. My lawyer says I have a solid case, but I'm afraid I'll have to spend tons of money just to get mine back from her. And I'm also afraid I won't win, or that I'll win but won't ever see anything from her. I can give out more details if anyone has questions, but I wanted to keep it as concise as possible. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated, I feel so stuck and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks.
