Judgment Day
Well, something that has been going on for months—and that I haven’t blogged about until now—is (hopefully) over.
I won a small claims case today. I didn’t get the full amount I was asking for, but that’s fine. I intentionally asked for more than I expected to receive, leaving room to negotiate a settlement. The defendant did make a lowball offer, and I believe he negotiated in bad faith. What I was awarded in the judgment is exactly what the law says I deserved.
He now has 30 days to pay the judgment. If he doesn’t, I’ll begin the process of trying to collect.
I can almost guarantee he’ll try to avoid paying. It wouldn’t surprise me if he files an appeal.
Anyway, I finally get to take a break from playing lawyer. The ball is in his court for the next 30 days.
