I need a lawyer's advice??

Question

I was going to do a kitchen in my new appartm. We made a contract with a person that have a business doing kitchen. The contract was made in march. The kitchen was due to august, and we are in december now and still the person hasn't made the kitchen. The contract says that she had 3 months to do the kitchen. We talk to her because we want our money back, because we are going to pay another person to do our kitchen, but she doesn't answer our phone calls, all we get is her parent voice mail. I talk to her this week, by miracle, and she told me that she was going to give the money on thursday, but she didn't call us to give us the money. Also, she ask me if we were going to use the same kitchen design that she was going to do for us. What should I do? keep waiting? sue her? report her to DACO? Can she sue me for making her two many phone calls per day? Can she sue me for using the same kitchen design? Thanks

I went to a lawyer, I want second opinion, thanks

Answer 1

How much money do you have involved? If it is lower than what your area's small claim court allows, then file a lawsuit for non-performance and breach of contract.

I don't suggest using her design until the case is settled or money owned is returned. She can use that as an evidence that you accepted part of her work and charge you for it. (or at least complicate your claim)

Answer 2

I would go to the place of business and talk face to face. Also, why did you put money up front? That's the biggest mistake people make. I am not a lawyer.

Answer 3

First you need to speak to a lawyer....they can steer you in the right direction.

Answer 4

She is in breech of contract. sue her.

Answer 5

look up local lawyer in phone book and ask them.

Answer 6

Are you dead? Really are you dead?? Don't wait, SUE NOW!!!!
