[Assistant] So you want to get a free dress that's repaired that he pays for. You're not just suing for $400 to repair the dress. You also want the money for the dress back. And then you want $100 for gas. That's how you figure your lawsuit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he apologizes, he says, I will fix it when you're next in New Jersey and I will pay you $50. You say that's not enough because you've ruined her. I can't accept $50. I accept your apology, but in every picture, a hole is featured in my daughter's dress. I've sent you several pictures so you can see that for yourself. On a $600 dress, $50 were not suffice. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Step one, you're gonna fix that because you want the dress. The dress is really pretty. You can wear it again. Right. So, you're gonna fix that. You're gonna reinforce it rather well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's fair for having to chase you for it? Cause they had to chase you a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, my friend Eddie. Okay, did you have fun with Eddie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Carrie Boylan, you are suing Desiree McGee for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why it wouldn't happen to me? Because a phone wouldn't be that important for me to continue to drive and not look at what's happening when I'm about to approach a stop sign. You T-boned somebody because your attention was diverted to go pick up the phone you dropped. So it became his problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I was not hurt. Okay, you're very lucky nobody was killed. Okay? So now, insurance pays off the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are upside down on the car, right? Which is what happens when you want to finance a car. So you're asking that she, after the insurance has already paid you, their, her insurance has already paid you the value of the car, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. That's what you're entitled to in a court of law. And if it turns out that you owe more than what the value is, that's just too bad for you. You're suing so that she has to pay not just the value of what she damaged,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also $2,750 because you don't want to have to put a down payment on a new car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you can't then say, oh by the way, buy me a new car too. No. That's not how it works. So now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you ask him to do Roadside? Yes I did. What time of the day or night was it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, police officer didn't make you do road-sides, right? Were you drinking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do I know that those are days that you took off for doctor's visits if you don't bring me proof that you had doctor's visits on each of the days that you're asking for? Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might like those things, but they're not gonna like you. If you wanna buy something, then buy your time. Spend some time with that person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life is about the experience, not about the jewelry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says the plaintiff's daughter is a full-figured gal who hadn't put the dress on from the time of the fitting to the prom. He was very sorry to hear the seam ripped a little. He did everything he could to work it out with him. But they are tough customers who decided to sue him for almost double what they paid. And he thinks they're just trying to scam him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if the dress can break that easily, it probably wasn't made right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did, we did. I just didn't like the entrance. He caught my daughter on the heavy side and he just didn't stitch well. If he thought she was heavy, he should have stitched it right. It doesn't matter about size, dress should stay together period. Especially when you're paying that kind of money for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we've got it. Do you have a close up with the sign you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are actual litigants with a case pending in civil court. Both parties have agreed to drop their claims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have their cases settled here before Judge Marilyn Milian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I gave him a phone call just to let him know that the vet had told us about the dog. And uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was pretty brief, uh, he seemed to be in a bit of a rush, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just discussed of like, I was very unfamiliar with, uh, the type of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, don't worry about it, you know, sometimes it happens, they can grow out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We called the first time, uhm, to let him know about it, correct, and then we called the second time after I spoke to the doctor, and that's when we agreed that, uh, he would give us half of the money back, uhm, that was a conversation that took place, and then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two days later is when I think we received an email from him where he said he wasn't going to give us half but he would give us a thousand. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if he didn't hear anything, he was going to put it in the mail, put the check in the mail. And I said, that's okay. And then we never saw it. So I contacted him third time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, hi, you know, where's the check? And he said, oh, I didn't get to it or my.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it always is. Everyone's trying to get to the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the judge finally determines that the defendant did agree to pay $500 to the plaintiff. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's alright, but you apparently did agree, because you admitted it in court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good luck, hope you like it. Thank you. Okay, it's right back there. I will be back there in a few minutes. Now here comes Mr. Bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, you almost talked yourself out of a win. She was about to decide for you until you interrupted her. Do you know that? Uhm, I understand that. Okay, let me ask you this. All the footage that's there? No? She can look at it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be seeing, we'll be seeing the judge again. Okay, let's see. Alright, well good luck. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay. Harvey, fascinating case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, he's li- she's liable. That- take care of your dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the plaintiff's on his way out of the courtroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, sorry about that. You just couldn't prevail in court today. You must sign a few documents outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here comes Ms. Mack, plaintiff, or defendant rather. Sorry about that. You're smiling. You feeling good now? Yes, I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, goodness. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you. Watch those pit bulls. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you seem kind of elusive, trying to avoid, or you didn't have material to show, or consequently didn't work for you. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, thank you very much. You must sign a few documents outside. Here comes Mr. Merchant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the last time I had, I ran away because he scared me so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't take the stress of this every month. Right, every month having to chase him. That wasn't part of the deal. Right, and every day... How often was he late? Out of 12 months, he was late 8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went back and told, I called him and told him I was repossessing the car. Either he paid me in full or I was repossessing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 30th, I hired a company to go and take my car, get my car back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did. When I got the car out of pound, the guy that, uh, towed the car, he was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing I have, Texas says that he left his guitar, amp and other accessories in there. He's not suing me for any of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lunchbox. It was all trashed. Woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is all this stuff? Did you bring it today? These, all that's trash, no I didn't bring any of that. You threw it out? But this here, I have in a text that the company that makes these or whatever he was working for that they were going to sue me too for these. Okay, so let's see those. They said they're worth like five cents. That's what I was told.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are the rest of them? I left them at home because I couldn't carry all of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My brother in Tennessee, and it has, uhm, I went and got tags and insurance on it. In Tennessee? No, in Florida, and then he came down to Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On these here, he threatened me 18 times that I was going to jail and all kinds of bad stuff. Oh, I know. I read the text. He said you don't have a right to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lost two of my children. My memory is not good. I can't remember things. I really don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think if you're buying a car, it's kind of your responsibility to get it checked out a little bit and, you know, make sure that, you know, take it to a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It all depends on the situation and circumstance between the two people. What do you say, generally? 8 times out of 10, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I purchased the car, uh, anticipating a need for one of my nieces going to college needing a car. Well, that need never arose, so after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tires, brakes, and made an engine repair. When I bought the car, it wasn't disclosed to me, but there was a problem with the engine, so I fixed it. What was the problem with the engine? It had an internal cooling leak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took the engine apart, reinstalled all new gaskets, put the engine back together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, because the couple months that I owned the car after I made the engine repair, I didn't drive the car on a regular basis, uh, but I drove it a week, you know, once or twice a week to make sure the battery would stay up, and I never had any problems with the car starting, running, or driving. The car drove quite well for me, and when we were on the test drive with Mr. Mathis, the car drove very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Honor, I can't tell. I wasn't there, I wasn't present when these pictures were taken, so I really don't know what I'm looking at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personal machine that you, it's got a motor on it, goes from anywhere between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ma'am, I didn't ask her for the retainer. I told her what the per job rate would be. She was the one who offered the $3,000 up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted to give me the 3,000 to guarantee services through the winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I know her husband and we were in contact and then I knew she did poetry. So yes, we did exchange poetry back and forth and, um, she said she needed some help around the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a list. That's a complete breakdown of everything that was done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personal machine that you, it's got a motor on it, goes from anywhere between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's living in Florida at the time? She's not living in Florida at the time. She was visiting Florida when we, uh, when I came upon this apartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had been looking for the apartments for the both of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that's her mother, but that's- You think it's all her mother? She's not sitting here right now. I noticed. Is she? No. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the automobile accident happened in December.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the car went to his shop in January and it came back and it looked great. There was a few minor incidents that were needed to be touched up. Such as? Uhm, there was some Bondo on the top of the trunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The window was all scratched. It looked like a router had hit it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the backup camera and everything worked at that time. It was just a small little minor things that needed to be done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he agreed to take the car back to have it redone and asked for pictures to, of everything that I needed to have redone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's a Toyota Corolla LE, and that's a big cut that was supposed to be replaced that wasn't replaced. And that's like a knife cut in the trunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where the window scratched with the router. That's the back window. Right hand corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, not on the car seats, just on the, I took just the main.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The repairs that were done, the bumper's not attached. It looks worse now than what it did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you'll, there's pictures of the left side, there's pictures of the right side, the whole right side is open on the right side of the trunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a big gap. This is the left side of the trunk and this is the right side where he did the repairs, which basically looks like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we just had a verbal agreement. We came from New York in January. Okay, she had a job in waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you two know each other? Uhm, we've been dating, uh, and living together on and off for the last five years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] February, March, basically, okay. I'm gonna explain to her about the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Police first call when I came back, uhm, she called him on April 7th, but also I filed a report of a civil suit in March because she wouldn't even talk to me communicate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the gap around the tail light was not quite perfectly even. And if you looked in between, you can see a little bit of body filler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before the bumper was painted, there's no way there's overspray on that license plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're looking at a plastic cover over top of the license plate, which is old and yellowed and faded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's really nice, a town and country, uh, limited edition, extended cab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I realized it needed to be painted and I didn't want it, the windows-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, so on the first, uh, I was taking some medication in February, March and April, so I wasn't able to go out and get in the sun or anything like that. Okay, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what happened is a paint job, I went back in, he slid the key to me. He didn't say like, I'm sorry we're a couple days late, you know, or nothing, didn't talk to me at all. He slid the key to me, and so I went out to my van, and when I put the key in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And turned it on to see if the license blank or so wouldn't get a ticket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had the radio station. I didn't really mind that. And I looked, then the gas gauge registered. And when I left it there, uh, the mileage was 119,777. It just rolled over. It was there. I knew it would be, you know, hopefully. But there was, the gas was down. I had one needle under half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I realized it. So I said, no problem. Right. You know, gas, radio, no problem. So I drive home. I was end of the day, five o'clock around there. I go in the house. I'm just glad to get my van back. It's been nine days. Saturday I went out and I opened the hatch, the hatch door. The first thing I see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, uh, on the sides, cause if, you know, you look down and saw the rubber piece on the bottom first, you look on the right, there is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gouges in the hard plastic. And then I looked at the ceiling, uh, the, the headliner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these are pictures of the headliner. You can see the scrapes and the indentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been okay if it would have just been a scrape mark. You can see one scrape mark and you can tell the difference on the indentation marks. And, and that's a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it was a Sunday, so I was, I was burning, man. I was so hot because this van was so mint condition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, I thought, what am I going to do? The weather's nasty. You know, it rained and then it got a couple days. It was cold. So I passed that week and I go, how am I going to handle this? And I always hear, we'll make a report out. So I call a police officer, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I knew he was gonna, they were gonna deny it. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's true, it's true. I, I knew the time goes by, they're gonna go, I had two more months of medication to go. And then I figured after that, I called one of his buddies, Sean, I don't know who he is to him, uh, one of his managers, I was telling him about, I says, I can't get back over there till the first part of, uh, April, May, because I'll be through with this medication and I'd,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are special blend. Listen to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I took the pictures of what wasn't there before it happened, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Curtis had did the first album, uh, first photo album.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here, and this one, and this was back in, uhm, when he showed me the pictures in the drop box that disappeared, I don't know where they went. I asked him, I said, is this, I know this can't be all the pictures that you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were supposed to get a canvas-sized wall portrait, as he had said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have everything marked in here for you to see. Why I'm not happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once I receive the album, not thinking about the pictures on the computer, but once I receive the album, there's a lot of things I don't like in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm serious. I'm just saying, I said that there was a few, like him walking in front of the camera when they were videotaping and the fact that when we're, it wasn't edited fully, but I do like it because that's what we have to look at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and that's about it with the video, uh, the photographer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uhm, the wall portrait you have there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and I also said those things I did not see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prestige Motors doesn't exist. Well, he may be talking about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pete's place, which is where we towed the car on our behalf just to accommodate the gentleman. It would have never made it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no cracked engine bar. Test drove car multiple times, cannot duplicate issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see a hole in something, I don't know if that's an engine block, I don't know if that's a rotor disc. Does it look like a cylinder?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't look like cylinder to me, but it could be. I'm not a mechanic and nor do I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, try to be one that's why I pay people to do that type of work for the dealership.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The warranty that is sold with the vehicle in this particular case supersedes our warranty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It means that the warranty is superseded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the reason not our issue, number one, there's a warranty on the vehicle. If it was an engine, it would have been covered by warranty. If it was negligence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not true, but okay, I mean that's where we're all entitled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the plaintiff prevails, Mr. Weiser, the defendant's on his way out. You knew what was coming, didn't you? You sensed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm happy, that's all. Thank you. Okay, congratulations. Thank you, sir. Good enough. Bye bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the plaintiff didn't get four thousand dollars in storage fees, but he did get a date. You okay with that? You gonna be there? Sure. Okay. He's gonna come get it, and we'll get those out of that apartment. Sure. And then you'll be happy? I guess so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what brought you here. Let's hope you'll be happy then, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, thank you very much. You must sign a few documents outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motaz, Mr. Motaz, you got a big smile on your face. Are you happy now? I'm always happy, yeaah. You're always happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well good. Congratulations from that point. Okay, take care. You must sign some documents out there. Bye bye. Here comes Mr. Melendez. What do you have with you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well look, thank you very much. You know, congratulations. Okay, you're proved in the right. That's what the judge


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You couldn't really hear the car running. I mean, they commented on how nice it was. Uh, but anyway, uhm, during the emissions that were after, after emissions, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lieutenant told me that, you know, that I should address two little problems. He said there was a little leak under my radiator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I don't have that. That was in July. I'm sorry I didn't have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that was the month before I brought it to Mr. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have a, uhm, the radiator, like, pardon me, to have a new radiator put in and, uh, steering column.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, initially I brought the car to him to have it, uh, uh, uhm, to uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the park with my dog and my friend here. And my car stall is out raining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He calls me to spend a lot of money for y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The line of work that I do, I'm a truck driver, so as I'm working, when she be calling, I just, I can't pick up the phone. Now when I do pick up the phone, it's like she was just bad mouthing, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real rude and then her boyfriend also just sending text messages and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll just like, like to handle this like a man and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, well we, first of all, we was at Dairy Queen, that's where we had met up. She had touched over the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was hot, so uhm, she had the opportunity to drive the car there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have bought it in New York from another dealer, from over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well basically, uh, I've known Mr. Isaiah for about three or four years. We've known each other through the music industry. Where are you guys from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I was called, uh, about, I say about 2016, late 2016, um, by the defendant just to, you know, call me and ask me, you know, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what are you doing? How have you been? You know, is everything okay? Hey, you can come by the studio and hang out sometime. No, it's not a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, well he, well he's, oh yeaah, part of the studio yesterday. Okay. So, so now it was kind of, we're hanging out and what not, so uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, asked him if he could mix and master, uh, my project cause I had a project coming up. Um, I actually have a, uh, a listening party as well that was trying to correlate or whatnot. And, um, I needed my music to be mixed and mastered and completed or whatnot. Um, he agreed. We agreed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically it's like this, he's done nothing. Uhm, basically, and that story, I don't mean to recant this situation, but uhm, basically what he's saying about the woman, totally false, totally false.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He tried to show me, um, her nude photographs before, when she first got there. I'm told, no, I don't want to do that. This is professional. I'm a writer. You're a producer. Let's work. Okay. I didn't know. I didn't know that. Yes, really. That's what I'm saying. His story is, um, is false. His story is totally false. Did he say that? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It started to get a little crazy because he's starting to come to me now with, with things, emotional things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going through her phone, reading text messages about other people or what not, not allowing her to come outside of the, of the bedroom when other people are recording in, in fear of they might steal her away or, or what not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make her stay in the room. This is what she said to me. I can't go out there because he doesn't want me to come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't say I am right now. Well, it wasn't about the song. It was just about the fact that the facts weren't, um, presented. I had other evidence, but you know, I got talked over and everything, so it was all good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court, Harvey Levin here, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wouldn't you hire a non-licensed, uh, handyman to do electrical work in your house?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That actually is a good point, but they are a lot cheaper, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna be the tiebreaker here. I would ask my landlord, cause I'm a renter. Oh, okay. That's, you just blocked me on that one. Okay, going inside the courtroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Okay. Harvey? Okay, look, I mean, I know it's a lot cheaper, but I gotta tell you there are a million reasons why you want to hire a licensed contractor, not the least of which is what this lady said, which is that they put a bond up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they get a license and you have something to go against if they cause damage. That will do it for this case.

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court Next Case. In the docket, the plaintiffs rented an apartment from the defendant and they say that he literally stole from them. But the defendant says the plaintiffs cracked the sink and it seems he knows exactly what they were doing when it broke. It's the case of Sexy Sinky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do landlords typically screw over tenants when it comes to returning security?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm having no luck here. Okay, well you're a renter, so I might as well go back to you. Do they screw you over or not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you know, Doug, you should know that in a lot of states, if a landlord has no basis for holding a security deposit, they can actually retain two and sometimes three times, excuse me, they have to pay two and three times the amount that is wrongfully withheld. And that will do it for this case, litigants, for the next case on the way into the courtroom, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court next case. In the dock, the plaintiff bought a car from the defendant. It got wonky and the defendant won't fix it. But the defendant says the plaintiff had a warranty but didn't follow the drill. It's the case of, I got drilled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I have a question, I need an honest answer. Uh, you ever own or lease a car? Yes. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever read The Warranty when you buy it? No. Have you? Do you own or lease a car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I mean, these guys are not, uh, unique. Most people don't read these warranties, but the fact is you should. So even if you get this really thick document, I gotta tell ya, just at least isolate the part that says warranty, especially if it's a used car, to know exactly what you're getting into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In May of 2016, I had my son bring my phone. I actually brought it in first myself and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The phone was, I dropped it in the water, so it didn't, it wasn't coming on. So I had my son bring it in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was on, it was working, my pictures were there, it was fine, I was excited. But when I got home, I couldn't get back to the main screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I called him up and I told him that it wasn't working. He told me that's not what he fixed, which is understandable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but he told me to bring it back in. I brought the phone back in. After a couple weeks, he said he was waiting on a part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then every week, every two weeks, it seemed like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was putting us off because he kept saying he's waiting on a part, he's waiting on a part. So now I told my son, get something in writing from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I don't believe him. I feel like he, cause the note sevens were called back. So everybody were one at the note fives at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the Note 7's caught fire. What happened to the Note 7's? They caught fire, so they were recalled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went in myself. And when did you go in? I went in on 10-27. My son said it was September 30th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have any more paperwork you want me to see? I have this. I went back in again myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, then you need to give me something documented again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do understand and I knew I wouldn't get $1250. It's really a lesson for him because you can't do business. That's not the way you do business and I'm a business owner and I know that you have to keep records for seven years in the state of California.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wrote on a piece of paper and just gave it to us. What's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Ms. Hart, you used to live in Defendant Romeo's property. Correct. And now Mr. Nelson lives there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And according to you, they owe you five thousand dollars for ruining your boat and causing you almost two thousand dollars in medical bills and pain and suffering. Tell me what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who took the pictures? I did. Who was doing the work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lawn service guy, Jim Nelson. The one who took over your place. Yes. You were doing this work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, stop. That is 90 something dollars. This doesn't tell me anything about what you're at the doctor's office for. Do you have actual medical records that talk about treatment or that you had a fall or anything like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so you've got the court order that said you gotta get out. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and then the final notice of eviction, if you are not out of there by 7am, all your stuff will be, you'll be arrested for trespass. So, what happened on November 2nd?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, here's the problem. We know that you left it behind. And we know that you have zero right to anything. Once you disobey the Marshall's last straw, you need to be out with all your stuff by November 2nd at 7 a.m.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you understand that if he felt like selling it, he could have sold it? Are you getting that part or you're not getting that part? No, I didn't get that part. You don't get the part that says, when we say you gotta get, is this your boat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we say get everything off the property, we really, really mean get everything off the property. You don't get that part, right? You think that you still-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My verdict in this case is for the defendants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are suing Linda, you've asked us not to mention your last name or your company name. You're, uh, you're suing her car company?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but I don't care about that. I think you think I'm supposed to care about that. I want to understand why you didn't just take the car the next day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next day, less than 24 hours. 15th is what we had said. It was like, 15th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, so when did you test drive the car? Before or after you decided to buy it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so what I see happening on March 16th isn't that nobody would release the car to you. It's that you are saying to the bank, I don't want it, I don't, if the car has issues, I don't want to proceed with the deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I see. And you're saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, the car had issues. Now at some point, my understanding is you're telling me he's gonna get his money back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why though? You never call back. Where's my money? Please. That's on March 24th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You say you're all set, I put it through this morning. And that is on March 24th. It is. How'd you put it through that morning?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What bank did it come from? Boy, you wasted a lot of his time for not coming through with your promise. What bank did it come from? My bank thinks it might have been an error.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Capital bank card. Is that the name of the bank? I can come down there tomorrow, just pick up the cash or a check and be done. I finally got ahold of your bank without an account number, blah blah blah. And then you tell them today would be the second business day if it's not in your account number. Why are you doing all that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] March 29th. I've been waiting for your callback. When am I gonna get my money back? I mean, normally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't enforce in court a promise to pay someone, and then if you change your mind, well then all bets are off and I have to rule. And this, truly, when you make a deposit, it's an unrefundable deposit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get that, but you got the guy jumping through all these hoops telling him all this time for a good solid number of weeks that you're gonna return the money. He's checking his bank, he's calling his bank, he's calling you, he keeps having to chase you. I mean, it's such a terrible way to do business. Why is that happening? And then he has to sue you to do what you swore you had already done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're very lucky to get these thousand dollars back because typically they're non-refundable. The only reason why I'm going to allow this to happen is because there was almost a solid month of you going back and forth based on her promise to pay it. And I consider that something in return for the promise to pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have to check your bank, check your bank again, call her, get through it, that's, you know, you shouldn't be going through all those hoops. If that's what she says she's gonna do, and that's what she said she did, I feel like you put enough effort into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That that alone is reason to make her go through with her promise. Thousand dollars verdict for the planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are suing Brian, who is a manager with the realty company that manages the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For $5,000, according to you, you're out way more than that for missing property and you're counter claiming against him for damages that you say he did to the apartment. Talk to me, what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had there been problems with paying the rent and with eviction, what have been going on up to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, hold on, so he filed an eviction notice against you? Yes. Back when? Uhm, October. Okay, so on November 16th, the locks were changed, you come home, and what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in, in the state of Florida, if you don't put the money in the court registry, you get an order, but you would have to have an order to change your locks. Did you have an order to change your locks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That doesn't matter. Are you guys new at this or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you been changing locks a lot? Cause you have to go to court to do that. You cannot change a locks on a tenant. Alright, so what happens when police come


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let me, I think I have them up here, Tony. This is the before, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You left the couch, you left the damaged TV, you left a bunch of baby stuff, you left a little bouncy thing, that's a- Why are you leaving all this behind for somebody else to clean up? Yea, I'm asking you. The day we moved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that would be a good thing to have. And then take a look at the stove, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This burner is disconnected and a burner's missing. How'd that happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How would they even be able to get these pictures? What do you think, that they're gonna have a pristine place that's clean and then they create this evidence just to have something to clean up? Why would they do that? That's not believable to me. It's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in your counterclaim, you're suing him for $3,100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are very, very round numbers. I always suspect as a judge when I hear round numbers that someone's just eyeballing it. Do you have actual receipts that you guys paid out in the damages that you're seeking here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but when you had to come to court, when you agreed to come to court then, and once you got sued, you did not, you no longer estimated, you took the time to get real, uh, quotes, right? Sure. Okay, can I have them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, one of the things that you say in your answer to the complaint is that uhm, you don't deny that he's been the victim of a robbery, but your position is, we didn't rob him, so that has nothing to do with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now this letter is dated October 10th, and this is the famous letter that you wrote the judge, asking for more time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how is it that uhm, you come there on November 16th to be robbed of everything you own when this letter, which is authored on October 30th, says that you were before that date robbed of everything you own?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about your lawsuit against him. What I have in front of me is can you prove to me that they're responsible, first of all, that you're missing $5,000 worth of stuff and that they're, secondly, that they're responsible for it and you can't, not with what you've brought to court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On your counterclaim, you have numerous problems. Number one, you are representing the landlord and the landlord in the state of Florida has 30 days to file a piece of paper talking about what you're laying claim to and why you're laying claim to it. The greater problem is that what's good for the goose is good for the gander too. Where are all your receipts about what these things will actually cost?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, uh, but there's certainly, that place was disgusting. I can't believe you left it like that. And I think you're lying to me when you say you didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which you have filed as a counterclaim to this case. You're supposed to have to file your own case on this because you didn't bother to send the notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it's sufficient for you to file a counterclaim. That's filing a claim. Uh, now I gotta buy the contents of your claim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which means I would want to see legitimate estimates as opposed to your flapping gums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which one should I have? The, uh, The one you got three days ago? Yes, yes your honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is typed up on a piece of paper. It already looks suspicious to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it says, uh, removal of all trash inside when you've already confessed to me that the landlord already removed and swept everything inside. So I kind of don't buy the estimate. See what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see what the problem is, right? So on your lawsuit against him, also zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now of course there's that $300 that you have of his, which he is not laying claim to, but frankly, since you guys didn't send the notice, that $300 should technically go his way. But based on that mess that I saw there, I'm going to allow you to keep the $300 because you did file this other separate claim. Okay? Good luck, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in a hospital. I had cancer. I got diagnosed of, uh, cancer. And I was in a hospital at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I was in the hospital twice. I was in the hospital twice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, only thing they told me to bring was the, uh, the paperwork for the dog and the proof that the dog is not mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, I got it from, they, she purses the dog from the SPCA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and my wife were separated at the time when I purchased this house. Okay? Now when-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My wife was going to say that when me and my wife was separated, I moved Catherine in the house because she didn't have nowhere to go. Me and her, we never, it wasn't no sex relationship, it was a relationship, but it wasn't ever no sex relationship because she knew I was married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and my wife got back together. Then me, my kids moved in. I've got five girls. Okay. Catherine, she never stayed upstairs. She always stayed downstairs in the back of the house. Okay. So she's not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, she got her own interests. She can't come through my front. We got our own interests and his own interests in the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got your point. Going inside the courtroom. I was in a hospital with the cops. When it happened, my wife called me at the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that's correct. Uhm, I met Charles, I was walking down the street, uhm, he was doing the roof, and I asked him if he needed some help, and he said yeaah. So he gave me his number and I called him. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stayed for like maybe an hour, two hours or so. And it was just him and I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, she's only worked a couple of days, so I'll write him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dog, because I've seen rockwilders react pretty viciously too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I've been in business for 21 years and this is the first time I come to court. I want the experience. I usually like to fix the problem with the people. Before you get to court, I buy the car back if there is a problem. I wasn't aware of this problem. If I did, I would have buy the car a long time ago. But the court did this job and I appreciate the system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I wrecked a car and they booked me on a DUI, but I wasn't under the influence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, his text messages from what she says don't ever ask him for any money. He asked how much the bill was. She told him $500 per charge. It's 10%. It was $100 to get out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I left, when I, when they came and got me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First off, he knew the check wasn't no good. He just wanted proof, okay, that she owed him money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gave him, I gave him the, she gave him the check, just so he has evidence against us. Okay, well then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After being harassed constantly, give me the money, give me the money. That's harassment? Sure, well if you know that, like, uh, when her cousin owed him $1300, I gave him the $1300 because he's a friend and it was her family and it messed him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's just trying to play the hard strings to the judge and use the camp as a good way to get out of pain. Should that work? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are suing Tamika, you've asked to be referred to only by your first name, uh, for $474 that you say she owes you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that you have fronted to her throughout the time you've known her. Tell me what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you doing this though? Because if you don't have, why are you, wait just a second, why is your head bobbing? Because you accepted it, so just, I'll be with you in a second. Why are you doing this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh, is he buying your cigarettes, paying for your nails, uh, did he- No, Your Honor. Did he give you $200 or $50 for the grandfather funeral?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is actually in evidence that the plaintiff...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My fiance is black, DOB 1978, dark skin and excellent health, yet we are both disabled with back injury and unemployed. She told me her back itches and then you sent a picture of her back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and sent it to a doctor to diagnose what she should do for treatment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I have a question for you. Do you have any texts from her, emails from her, uhm, suggesting that she agreed to pay you back whatever monies you appear to be expending on the hope that she might date you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, who wrote on this email in handwriting, Tamika has fungal infection of the back, notice doing back rub for pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why do you keep accepting stuff if you know that the guy's... Steve was a nice guy. Yea, I know. That's not my question. He didn't ask me to be his fiance. No, it doesn't matter. You knew he liked you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you just handed me two pictures of her. I don't need that. Right, with wigs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I want? I'd like the western, any western union proof and I'd like the letters from your friend and relative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One says you borrowed 60, the other one says you borrowed 50. Where's the 200?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are a good looking smart man and you don't have to buy affection. You just have to shop in the right stores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't look at this lawsuit and hear anything that would remotely resemble a legal debt from one person to another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it sounds like, you know, over and over you keep saying how, I'm just helping, I'm helping, I'm helping, I wanna help, it doesn't sound like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm making loans, I expect to get paid back, and it's all I wanna help, I wanna help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when maybe not someday, possibly in the future, someone's gonna be your girlfriend, then it's, you know, hey, I want all this paid back. That doesn't make a legal case. You would have to have proof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That at the time of handing it over, the clear intention and understanding of both parties was an obligation to pay it back at a time, you know, at a specific time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm finding in this case in favor of the defendant. I gotta tell you, I'm not particularly impressed with you because I, you're not the first, you won't be the last, but, you know, when you see somebody who is this nice or interested, both of which is kind of, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither of which you should take advantage of, you know what I mean? And you should have been clear on this beforehand, because otherwise it's just the oldest profession in the world, right? Yes. Right. Good luck folks, verdict for the defendant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh, you are suing Misty Jack, pronounce it for me. Jakimchuk. Jakimchuk and Jeff Jakimchuk and you have power of attorney for your husband, Jeff. Uhm, for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $856 in lawn maintenance for two properties which you have not been paid for. Tell me what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so you continue to do the two properties and how often would you go to both properties every week?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it sounds like they were very unhappy and that they wanted to cancel your services. What do you think? Like, whether they're justified in being unhappy or not, it sounds like they were unhappy for a while and were trying to cancel your services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me something to hold on to. I understand. So, I'm gonna order you to pay the $856 verdict for the plaintiff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas J. Shaw. You are suing Joseph DiGiamo for $1,432.22 that you say you have to pay to repair your 2014 Toyota Camry because according to you he was negligently driving his vehicle. You have a counterclaim against him for your deductible because according to you he was negligently driving his vehicle. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, we have what purports to be a sketch of the intersection where this happened. There's a lot going on there. Alright, would you like to come over here please and tell me what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so he, can I see pictures of your damaged car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so it wasn't a really bad impact, I mean this is a pretty, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I know any body work is expensive body work, but still. Alright, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The police didn't give a ticket to anybody, right? No. Because they don't know which of the two of you was in the wrong lane. What happened according to you? Come on over here. Is there a media? Go ahead. Get there first and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you had collision on yours? Did you have collision on yours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motor vehicle crash, two vehicles, property only. Vehicle number one was making a right turn south, and it was struck by vehicle two. Damage to vehicle one is on driver's side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vehicle 2 reports traveling westerly on Ferro's road, made a left turn, and was struck by vehicle 1. Tell me how that says whose fault it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, here's what the problem is, fellas. No one can figure this out. The police cannot figure it out. That's why nobody got a ticket. The insurance company can't figure it out. So they're not gonna just hand you money. And the judge is having difficulty. Because if you're here, and you're making a left,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if this is how it happened because you made a wide right or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this is how it happened because you were trying to get into the left lane because you had somewhere else you wanted to go. I have no idea in other words if the accident happened here or if the accident happened here and neither does anybody else. Each of you portray it as you're each in your own right lane and the other person comes and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hits you. Uhm, you know, and, uh, I don't know how y'all expect this is when it comes in handy to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, collision insurance, you see? Because for those days, when no-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone is gonna know, unless they had a hidden camera on you guys, who went into whose lane. Cause he has a right to go into the lane closest to him, you have a right to go into the lane closest to you, and apparently someone overshot or under- overshot it. I just don't know which of the two of you overshot it. You say it's him, he says it's you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the thing is, each of you have the burden of proving each of your cases. You have the burden of proof when you come into court to persuade me by a proponents of the evidence that things happened your way. And you have the burden of proof when you come into court in a counterclaim to persuade me that it happened your way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's not a whole lot of persuasion going on in here. I have no idea which of you is right. So just like the police and the insurance company, I can't render a decision for either one of you. Okay? So, yeaah, what you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well they have to pay that because they're, whether you're fault, I mean you have collision you said, so. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For $981.61, the amount you say she owes you to repair your car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she damaged it with a shopping cart, correct? Okay, we have a, uhm, diagram up here. Can you walk over to the diagram and explain to me how it happened? We actually do have a shopping cart. Yes we do. We're good. Pick a car to be you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It ends up hitting there, where your drivers doors? Okay, and then she does what? Cause the receptacle's over here, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there a carriage to turn ferry that's gonna catch it and put it inside where it belongs so something like this doesn't happen? No. So you push it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then... Ooh, so it was a very bad idea to push it then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, my husband and my son. Okay, alright. Gentlemen, this is what she's saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That lots of cars have dings in parking lots. So, you literally push a car and because of wind and snow, or not because of wind and snow, it really doesn't matter to me, it ends up hitting another car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, who wrote each marking is less than two inches apart? I did. How did you conclude that? Did you measure it? I measured it. You measured it where? From the photo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is the damage to the car. It's exactly where the, the binding is on the darn


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's just, it's almost perfect. Okay, so your defense is that that couldn't have possibly caused this. Except for that A, you were seen causing it. B, you admit that that contact was made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In consideration of other cars on that day and your hubris to flee the scene of an accident like you did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I am about your continued defense of yourself instead of just paying this. It's ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas. Claudette Robinson. You are suing Thomas and his lawn care company for $3200. 600 of it that you paid him for landscaping and the rest impunitive and emotional damages to you because it didn't work out, uh, to be the lawn that you wanted. Alright, talk to me and tell me what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so uhm, what day does he do the job?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so now, do you have pictures to show me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And while you're looking at that, you tell me your side of things. Did you agree to sod her lawn for, and pressure clean her driveway for $600?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you, so when one pallet, that one pallet of grass should grow, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And where are you getting those pictures from? Are those texts you're sending him? Uhm. What is that? Let me see what that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll respect your privacy and not come on your property. So, the only texts you have are after everything hit the fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so Thomas, uhm, uh, do you have pictures of the lawn?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think would be the reason for there to have been a growth problem with the grass?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so at the end, what we've got is this. We've got you pressure cleaning her driveway for free. We've got you, uh, replacing only one pallet at her insistence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And telling you just do part of the yard. But based on what I'm listening to, you, uh, you know, I'm sorry if you feel- Judge, hold on. No, we're done. Hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That uhm, I should punish him and grant you $2,600 in emotional damages over lawn. That isn't gonna happen on this planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And based on what I've heard, when you're unhappy with someone's job, your remedy is to give them a chance to remedy it. Uh, particularly when that's what he's saying to you. And instead what you did was say, get off my lawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, if, if he gives you a guarantee that if this doesn't grow, I'm gonna replace it at my cost, don't worry about it, why wouldn't you just take him up on it? What is it you have to trust him about with lawn?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I understand, you know, if you have, you, you say, I can't, I don't trust you anymore to a doctor, to some, even, no offense, but you know what I'm saying? Like it's not, why? Why can't he just get a chance to fix it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no, I don't trust you anymore. That's crazy. I don't understand why the animosity that led to that. There's just, okay, fix it. This didn't grow. I've been watering it all the time. Just fix it. Why wasn't it there instead of becoming a $3200 lawsuit? My verdict in this case is for the defendant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Keith, you've asked us to refer to you only by your first name. You're suing Trevor Eugene O'Connor, your former good friend, for $2,040.95 that you say he owes you and refuses to repay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a counterclaim against him for $1200 for rent you claim he owes you and never paid. Let's talk to you first. What happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And half of those damages would be $325.28.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Alright, so now, what were the damages that you guys did that you were both so, yeah, yeah, that's us. Just out of curiosity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so why would you have to pay half if it was all his fault?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goodness gracious. Okay. So now, uh, let's fast forward to the next apartment and October 2017 comes around and what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he failed to pay October, and then when you were saying once a lease what, when did you guys leave that lease?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. Well, that takes care of October. And then, uh, according to you, the util- his half of the utilities are $118.12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $81.17. And now, do you have proof that you were charged a late fee of $150?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let me see those two things. And now, it appears that uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys had a bit of a falling out, correct? Why would you say that happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, it happens very quickly. I mean, you know, some people are observant, some people that's not their first, you know, their first thing is to panic about your welfare. That's exactly right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and then uhm, what happened with that case?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what made you decide that you wanted to, uh, and did you move away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you want him to pay you to reimburse you for that? What possessed you to do that? You say somebody told you on the phone there'd been a warrant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the bondsman- wait, oh my gosh. And you guys have known each other since 8th grade? So why do you think he goes through this effort to fly in to make sure you get arrested?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You agree that you agreed to pay half and then never did, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find in your favor, Keith, in the amount of $1,324.57.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the bills for the last month for the last apartment that he did not pay you. I am not finding in your favor for the airline tickets and the money paid to remove your name from the bond. That was something you chose to do and nobody needs to reimburse you for it. You have a counterclaim against him for $1200 for rent from you say it's 2015, you say it's 2013 when you move down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the answer on that is no, because that wasn't a contractual obligation to pay you. According to you, you were letting him do it as a favor, so you don't get to sue for that now all these many years later. That's my judgment, good luck folks, and I hope you get speedily better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably, like I could probably win their affection by giving them money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third, the noise. A turd? Third, a collision, you know. Okay. The impact. Okay. Impact of the other car. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not. I went after the other insurance company because it was my contention and police report supports that, that it is the fault of the other driver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the way it is? That's okay. I mean, whatever happens, we have to accept it. Very good sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked her, can you show me please more pictures? She pulled her phone out, no other pictures. It was just those. So then I said, alright, well, there's really not, there's nothing really I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The night before, we got nobody, alright, when you, when you get over there, we don't, we don't park right there necessarily because there's two more people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time I was working at a deli and that was a Saturday and I don't work weekends. So I woke up that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said that I couldn't because it wouldn't fit in my vehicle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked him, please, can you hold these for a few days until she gets her apartment? I said, I'm in the process of moving because of what the landlord did. You know, I, I'm packing up everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe she should have told him she was sorry for what she said, but he's absolutely wrong. Because I did go to his house and I asked him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff prevails. She gets $400 back. Here comes the defendant now. What do you think about what the judge said? She's a very good actress. That's what she does for a living. Well no, never did deny anything about money, you know? And that's really what was the key here. Correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, you know, sorry about that, but. I just wish her the best. Yeah, okay. I guess everybody does. Why not? And you, you got involved, but you didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here comes the point, you've had a rough road to home, no question about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you so much. Have a good day. Good luck now. Okay. Harvey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because? Because they're trying to charge for something that they're giving any, you know, ownership to. What do you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smile and give him the money. And say bye bye. Thank you very much. Alright. Mr. Cooper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go to a great lengths to get 165 bucks back, but congratulations. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I showed up occasionally, especially towards the end of the summer, we had an individual get hurt. So I filled in, I actually cut the house once probably in August of that house, that particular house. Also, she said she had video, we said, oh great, show us the video, we'll come over and look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a rap artist. I mean, I'll take that back. I can do every genre. I can do country for you. Smooth R&B. If you like rock, I can do rock for you. I can do everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They call me Banks though, that's my last name because. They go by Bank. Okay. Cause I get the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Earl Coy, you are suing Lori Balantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For your former friend, I guess, for $5,000. The balance of a car loan, some storage fees, and the rest for harassment. What happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you reconnect with her romantically or you reconnect with her as friends?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, stop. There's full coverage on the value of the car at the time of the accident. The depreciated value of the car at the time of the accident. How much money did he finance for you for that Mustang?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It appears that there's money left over on the loan, right? Yeah? So why would he have to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't get what full means. Full means that they pay whatever the full value of the car is at the time of the crash. That's fine, but if the full value of the car is $2,500 and the loan is $3,200, there's a deficit between A and B.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what you were thinking. Alright, so there it is. According to a letter authored by the finance company, at that time the balance is $2,799.98. Now car storage fees, what is that about? What happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so I don't get why somebody, you, the title is in your name and these are the problems that happen when you put the title in your name. So if you knew that the thing was there by, but when did he know that the thing was there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand, but you know, you can't just keep saying it's your problem because we know she doesn't care, and it's not in her name, so in the end it's not gonna be her problem, and she can't solve the problem anyway. Now, uh, harassment, $1,268, what's that about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, but so that's the harassment that she blew up your phone and called you a lot. Yes. Okay, and why was she calling you a lot? Had she been served with the lawsuit? And so that was the new fact that made her mad at you? No. So what was she mad at you for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello. You're suing your former landlord Herman Smith for $2,750 for your security back, extermination costs, your moving costs, and your storage costs after you moved out. You're counterclaiming against her $2,276.67 that you say she still owes you in rent. Let's hear it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, listen, you know, I have mice, you have to do some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, how many times did you present, did you ever say, okay, I've spent, cause you're suing for $960, so for how long were you paying the exterminator?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, see that's why it'd be good. Now let me just ask you though, why wouldn't you? If it's your place and you're a landlord, uhm, and there's my- a mouse problem, don't you have an obligation to rent a habitable place where there's not a mouse problem?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and so the problems came the second year when DSS, when, when a social service agency was paying her rent. Why did the problems come? First of all, why were they paying your rent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, the way this, this works when you have social services paying your rent is that there's a deficit. That deficit is something that they deem you're responsible for. Why aren't you paying it? Because you say, he said, ah, what's a little money between friends? I mean, you're not his friend, you're his tenant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. That says amount of monthly rent, 750. Did you fill this out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that your signature? Because it sounds like you're saying it looks like your signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then you admit that you were defrauding social services, telling them that your rent was 11.75 on 6.13 instead of 7.50. You admit it. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Picture bigger than they're paying 60% of a bigger number. So more of DSS will end up going to you. And then you have this side deal, which you're not allowed to have, that the rents will only be, you say $7.50, you say $8.95.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is there this document in original ink? You know, you said she photocopied this and did that and all this other stuff, but why is it in original ink?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got something for me? No. All right. I just, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never cease to be amazed at how much people abused the system. You both were abusing the system in this case. You got together, it's very clear to me what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you take a bigger slice than you're entitled to, you have left other people without pie. Alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've figured out what rent is still owing based on your version. I'm believing you that it's $750. And there's still a deficit of $381. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is your responsibility as a landlord to make a place habitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Means you are entitled to 468.33 of your security deposit back, plus the money that you spent on an exterminator, 9.60.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To pay her back the 468.33 remaining of the security deposit, plus you have to pay her back, uhm, the extermination cost, which is not something a tenant should have to, should have to pay. So I'm finding in favor of the plaintiff a net judgment in the amount of $1,428.33. Good luck, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For $2,720.43 in damages that you say she did to your car, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, I would expect my son who's driving my car to be more honest with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How old is he? 28. Alright, so did you borrow his car? Yes ma'am. How long were you dating him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just a couple months? Yes ma'am. Alright, and what happened with the car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the blue book value of the car is less than what you're, uh, you know, claiming for the repairs. When did this happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when did you and, apparently you and his son have broken up already? No, we were together until January, like, 27. Right, but you're broken up now? Yes. Right. And, uh, between, what date? November what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that right? Yes. Okay, so from November 30th until January when you broke up, did he ever


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it just seems like a really ridiculously high estimate for this damage. Did you take it to a second place to get another estimate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the blue book value of the car, based on the damages that I'm seeing, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to assess what I think is a fair value for the repair, uhm, because this repair is, exceeds by a lot of money, what the car's worth even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm finding in your favor in the amount of $1,500, and I have to issue a judgment against you for that amount, uhm, because I think it's gonna cost close to that to go ahead and fix it. That's my judgment. Good luck, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are the executrix of the estate of your uncle Everett. Uh, Edward, uhm, you're being sued by Diane because according to Diane,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has taken or $5,000 worth of stuff is missing. Uhm, what's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you were the beneficiary of the life insurance policy. And how much was the life insurance policy for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, do you change the locks on the condo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ask him, hey, you know the name of a painter? And he tells you the name of a painter. And then do you call the painter, get an estimate, how does that work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other items that you value at $5000 are missing. You notice them missing on what date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay? And you know that that exists. Why? From a picture taken four years before his death? How do you know he didn't give it to somebody else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, next, 12 inch cannon. Alright, next, two 12 inch nutcrackers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, glassware, various sizes, numerous plastic, oh, two rolls of paper towels. Okay. That are missing because you, and you know because you bought them. That's correct. And according to you when you were cleaning the place for her, uhm, you used paper towels, but you don't know if they're the same paper towels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, alright, dining room, you have a list and the list goes on and on of things that are missing, some of them, German beer steins, some of these things you did take and you acknowledged taking them, uhm, and you didn't ask her about it, uhm, do you feel like you were closer to him than she was?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean sometimes that's the case, uhm, that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you could be, you could feel like you're in the life of that person, especially if you live in the same city and she doesn't. But they're not yours to take, though. You get it, right? She's the executor and that's estate stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you think that I'm going to order him to pay you five thousand dollars. On what planet? Not this one. And I need you to come back and join us on this one. Uhm, you're not a good executor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, you know, uhm, now it's a little bit late after you've been giving access to people. Uhm, the things he d- I believe him when he says these are the only things he took and he's giving them back and it almost breaks my heart to make you give them back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have to order you to give them back because they belong to the estate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Dupreeh, Ms. Parker, you are suing Khadidra Butler and Charles Butler. You have power of attorney for Charles? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For fifteen hundred dollars, the amount that you paid for a car that you say is not working correctly. Correct. Alright, now you are her brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would you sell it to your brother? Why would you buy it from your sister?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During a snowstorm. Correct? Correct. And then what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, except for that he doesn't know what the law is, you know? Did you know how many problems this car has? No, I didn't. Okay, do you and your brother


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you lost your other sibling over the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you lost your sister a year ago, and you finally reclaimed your brother, and he calls you a week after paying you for it, why are you taking such a hard stance? How come you don't say, oh gosh, just, you know, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm wondering if she ever said she'd give you part of the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not asking you that she ever say she should give you part of the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's where we are. By the way, did you end up getting uhm, where's the car? You got the car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're giving him his money back. You don't have a right to sell this car. You're jumping title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently letting you drive it around here and there with temporary tags that just keep getting re- I don't get temporary tags renewed. That's the idea behind temporary tags. And then it turns out that you lied to me when you said that, uh, yeaah, I had good- it was my car, I had title to it, and blah blah blah. I just hadn't gotten around to registering it. No, what you did was jump title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are suing Kimberly Schweitzer for $300, a remainder of a security deposit that was not returned to you. Oh, y'all from Miami?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright then, let's hear it. What's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, did he get arrested? Oh, so this is not like your theory, this actually, this is, he got arrested and charged with it. Is that your same building? Number 2 in your building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, did you speak with the defendant and tell her, I can't live here anymore, it's not safe for me, it's not safe for my son, I wanna go? And what did she tell you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you move out on the 28th, you go not to another one of her buildings, you just go somewhere else. Okay. And uhm, and then you get your security deposit when? It's not a security deposit, let's talk about that because that's where the problem is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uhm, you do not collect a security deposit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says, and I think that you can see this in your answer to the complaint, that she had a really bad time there. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She gets to break a lease because it's uninhabitable. However, let's put that to a side because we're not really there. Where we are is something a step beyond that. There's an agreement that you're gonna give the money back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's kind of the risk you run when you don't take the security deposit. Do you think for one second she broke the door and stole her own and staged


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot wait. Would you guys like to come over here? Have you seen this or no? Are you, are you, this is your son? Our son. Our son. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Come over here, cause I think you're gonna wanna see this. So you can see what your 19 year old is up to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For $200 to repair to your building, which according to you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just too much. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I can't wait. I cannot wait. Would you guys like to come over here? Have you seen this or no? Are you, are you, this is your son? Our son. Our son. Come on, come on, come on. Come over here, because I think you're going to want to see this. So you can see what your 19 year old is up to. Alright, hold on. That's them over there, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, wait, don't talk about her. Let's talk about your sons first. Hold on. Watch, watch, watch, watch. Wait, don't worry. Okay, so there they are right there. Yes. Okay. Picking up the bow and arrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they come around and I guess they must realize that they did something because they're kinda close to the fence. Oh, there they are, walking on... Is that their property or your property? That's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they go back to shooting. Exactly in the same direction. Your son's a pinhead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so you've got people on your property shooting at your next door neighbor. Did the son knock on your door and say, hey, I'm so sorry this happened? Because that's what I would expect from my-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much did your contractor, uh, suggest that you pay him to fix that little, the two divots, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, your side should have gone to her side and left a note and said, I am so sorry. This is, that's what my kids, that's how I raise my kids. Okay? Uhm, I am so sorry. In fact, this has happened. My daughter hit a car and left a note on the windshield. It cost me a lot of money. And, but I'm happy because that's what integrity is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what should have happened but that's not what happened because she wasn't dealing with contrite people who feel bad and they only felt bad when it was going to cost some money. There was no note by the kid, there was no, you know, apology by the kid, there's a mom that's super defensive and a dad that's like $200, no way I'll just fix it, but the person


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand, but then at some point don't you think he should go next door? See what happened really is that when you guys were confronted with a video camera on your yard, you thought that was inappropriate, you thought that was kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'd like to tell you about the cameras is this. I am not ordering her to turn any cameras. Uhm, I think it's mighty hard to get the whole stretch without getting a portion of your yard, which the perspective just happens to be that it caught your kid shooting arrows at him. Wait, let me talk. Stop talking.

[Assistant] Keep fencing, oh, to keep the fencing on the common wall. Interesting. Let me hear from you first. What's happening?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose property is the common wall on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have a survey? No I don't. Okay. Alright. So we don't know whose property the common wall is. Go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a wood, wood planks, I guess. I don't know. Wood planks. And what did you do? Attach them to the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And this part's still up somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so what you do is you installed a, a wood, like a picket fence kind of thing, right on top of the four and a half foot wall that had been there for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, why was your handyman knocking anything or doing anything? Isn't this exactly what you asked for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so what you did was you put two more layers of concrete. Of concrete. Alright, and how did you, is your handyman here to testify? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, how are the two people who have been neighbors, did you raise kids there and stuff? Yes. Did you raise kids there, sir?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh, my entire family's in construction. Okay? I know how that's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm trying to, unless you're knocking down part of the wall, there's no reason for a sledgehammer to be used there. Alright? So, I'm trying to understand, and plus, it's, it's kind of funny because, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are suing for something that you say was damaged on your property without evidence that it's your property. Uhm, because neither one of you want to get a, a, a survey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd just rather the judge have a crystal ball to figure out what the lines are. The demarcation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so no, I'm not gonna order her to pay $700 for ruining your common wall that you cannot prove is on your property. And now you have a counterclaim. What is your counterclaim about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Douglas. Mr. Hamilton, you are suing Mr. Harris, your former employee, for $875, $500 of it, a balance remaining on some trucks that you sold to him, and the rest of it for tickets he received on those trucks because he didn't bother to register them in his own name for about a year. Uhm, tell me what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I meant like when he quit and filed a worker's comp claim, uhm, after you had been so nice as to sell those, uh, trucks and not hassle him over the remaining 500, did you feel like it was kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When did you register those two trucks that you bought in your name search?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you got some problems Mr. Harris. Some of them are legal and some of them are just moral. Alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you are going to pay the $500 remaining for the trucks and you are going to pay the $300 for the tickets. Verdict of the plaintiff, $800.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With someone else, the guy bailed out on him, so he asked me to help him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he tells me that was just a guy I know, since you're my family, I'll make a better deal with you. We can just split them. Split what? Whatever amount of pups there were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can take care of all of that. I'll be a silent partner. I don't have time to deal with the dog and all that. He agreed with that. And then, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From September to January, I heard nothing from him. So I finally sent a text message to him and that's when I got this whole blast of profanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Douglas. You're welcome. Okay, Patricia Davis. Yes. You are suing Christina Mo- Malignano. Malignano and Life's Art Productions for $3,573.22 that you want paid back to you because according to you, the pictures that she took at your wedding are a disaster. Tell me what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so that's the package you pick. Your wedding comes and goes and you think things went well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the emails where you say this is what I want, uhm, I have a few issues with some photos. Photo 806808 is just for my makeup artist's makeup collection. Do you have any other photo that can replace these? I don't see a need for me to pay for photos of makeup. Okay. I understand what you're saying, you don't want to edit the rest of them, but you have no problem giving her the rest of them in case she wants to edit it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, give her all of the pictures. You don't care. Alright, uhm, you complain about two pictures. That's it. That's all you do. So where is all the stuff that caused you to not only sue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For $1,607 back, you want $95 because two people ate. That's part of the contract is that you guys don't have to starve while you're at the event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and then you want $800 as your estimate for editing and reprint. Says who? Do you have an estimate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guesstimate. And then in the additional free flowing guesstimate of your life, emotional distress, a thousand dollars. You had two complaints about the pictures you saw. One is the group shot and the other one is too many makeup shots. That's your only two

[Assistant] Digital proofs are retouched digitally measured and turned around in approximately 90 days. Approximately. So she gets sick, well the woman can't get sick, then she sends them to you, then you send them back and then there's additional work that happens after that. So what? So we're talking about, you know, like an extra month. How many times have you been married?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Ms. Lewis, you are suing your landlord or former landlord, it's kind of unclear, Mr. Tentaromano, for $5,000 for unlawful entry and items you say have been stolen from the apartment. Tell me what's going on here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh good. Okay, so now it's January 3rd, there's a fire, what are you guys doing to clean up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then what? Does she move back in? Was it ever uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and then do you come back on the 12th of March?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you, so you're not getting, you weren't getting paid by Section 8 anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want her to vacate. So have you filed an eviction? Yes. Okay. And what's going on with the eviction?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you explain, her stuff is in there, you can't, listen, it's, it may be hard, but that doesn't give you a pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every other landlord in New York has to go through it. Okay? So you are, you are no better than the mere mortals who have to do it. Just do it. Okay? But you cannot change the locks on her until you have an eviction order. So you're gonna have to give, listen, you're gonna have to give her a key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure you kept the key, so go to Home Depot, make a copy of the key, and you're gonna have to give her a key cause she is entitled to have access to the place. You ca- I get you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter what, the law still applies to you. So she's gotta get a key. Gotta give her a key. Now, your lawsuit is because you say that your landlord stole a jewelry box with jewelry, a kitchen cabinet with pantry items, a George Foreman grill, the big kind,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The family size and the blender. Did you take the jewelry box with jewelry, the kitchen cabinet, pantry items, the George Foreman grill and the blender?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and did, uh, did anybody else have, if the key to her apartment was in the possession of the daughter,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you tell me how you plan on proving that you have exactly $1000 of jewelry in a jewelry box that's missing? Uh, I have no proof. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that you had $1,000 worth of groceries in a pantry cabinet in a place you weren't living for three months?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here's what we got, Ms. Lewis. We have you suing for $5,000. A man whose apartment you have left your stuff in for six months and haven't paid a penny. Uh, because according to you, he stole these items.
