- The plaintiff says she hired the defendant to fix her dock. He took her money, began the work, and then took off. She later found out he was not licensed and was being sued. She’s suing for her money back. The defendant says he told the plaintiff he wasn’t licensed to perform certain tasks, so the plaintiff dumped his tools in the street.
Case: 31-272
Plaintiff's claims are laughable. She, like so many people, use unlicensed and/or unskilled labor because they want the job done cheaply with no permit fees. Then after the fact, the repairs and fines incurred turn out to be more expensive than just paying a licensed person to do the job right the first time. These people never learn. Always trying to cut corners.
One to grow on.
Same with people claiming they though a person was licensed to do X, Y, and Z. The county has a list of everyones contractors license online; before I hire anyone, I check to verify they have a license. That $500 bid sounds better than the $900 one but it'll bite you in the ass if they aren't licensed.
You get what you pay for.
However licensed or not, you accept the money you DO THE JOB.
Think they do it on purpose lol even if the jobs perfect they can turn around and say it's faulty in some way, I didn't know they were unlicensed and get it free or even better get money for the work lmao it's like eating a whole meal and after saying it sucked
She was getting it cheaper knowing he wasn't licensed and now that there's a problem she's complaining that he wasn't. Honestly, it seems like she knew he wasn't licensed and was going to try to bully him into doing what she wants when she wants or she'd file an official complaint. That's not saying he's completely innocent but she can't claim she is either.
RIGHT;; ALL THAT & THEN ALL THESE CASE TYPES COMES TO COURT TO TRY TO GET IT ALL RIGHT FROM OUTTA SOME WORK IN THE WRONG WRONG WRONG😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣 THESE PEOPLE KILL ME...OH BUT THEY LEARN THEN🎯🧐🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lady - he already told you he’s not an expert in that area and yet you still went to the board. She is the reason why I don’t help out anyone anymore. I did this one time in my life and cost me more harm than good.
Plaintiff is shady af. Trying to get a cheap bargain.
“Sorry plaintiff that you had to go through this.” Doug don’t get it. She was scamming too.
I believe the defendant when he said that he gave her the receipts. The plaintiff was unbearably entitled.
that coupled with the fact that she wouldn't even make eye contact or look directly in the camera when being asked if she was given them tells me she's lying.
AND A WHOLE LOT OF STUPID!🤨🤨🤨
Yes very nasty and privileged
Yes I'm sure she demanded them. She's very bossy and demanding. To bad he didn't keep copies. Poor guy.
She did a lot of research after the fact!!!! She knew exactly what she was doing by hiring a painter to replace the decking. i don't agree with the judge in this case. we have a house on the lake and lots of people hire someone to replace the decking when they know the entire dock needs replacing. even if he didn't order the materials, his work to dismantle the dock decking and haul it all away was worth something.
But the contract was to get a new dock. What he did was not valuable because she did not get any materials she paid for or have a new dock. I don’t like her at all but she should get all of the money back
@@Fakecourt gotcha. I misunderstood. Regardless, she did not get what she paid for. She is most definitely unreasonable though
He should not have lied now he has to pay the 2,000.00 fine plus the 1700.00 He owes the plaintiff.. He never purchased the materials 😕 so the work he call himself doing was substandard.. I also think that there is a certain type of wood he needs to purchase for the dock. He was dishonest. She deserves all of her money back.. glad she did the research so she can have a professional do the work.
Exactly. She did all of that research after the fact. If she had checked him out prior, she wouldn't have been in this situation, but then she also would have been faced with paying much more for the job, which is what she was trying to avoid. So for her, it was willful ignorance.
I agree she didn’t even recognize his labor in the job.
What an appropriate last name. God couldn’t have been clearer.
I’ve hired a LOT of contractors and they are always running a little late…lol A person needs to be patient during construction. They both seem dishonest. He didn’t order the materials and she knew he wasn’t licensed. He was a handyman painting a neighbors porch for goodness sake. 🤦♂️
The Plaintiff is a nasty human and is a nightmare for contractors like myself. These types pull all kinds of Bullshittery to get out of paying. Leaving expensive tools out like that is unacceptable and am A hole move.
How is it HER fault that he has no proof of ever buying materials? He was obviously scamming her
I disagree with the judge, my neighbor was doing the same thing to his dock and only when they removed the old decking is when he found out about the pilings being bad.
Also I would never want to work for someone like the plaintiff.
A perfect example of a homeowner wanting a champagne job done on a beer budget! JM nailed it when she asked how the plaintiff thought he was qualified, just because he was working at the neighbors. She knew darn well he had no license and that he had not pulled a permit, and if she didn't, she sure knew how to turn a blind eye to it all. She wouldn't had said 'Boo' if things had gone the way she wanted, should have done her research beforehand.
Zero empathy for her!
I cant believe she gave her the entire deposit back.
Mrs. "Whiner" is so fitting for this litigant. "Karen" also. 🤣
He should have counter sued for turning him in!
She knew he wasn’t licensed and reported him out of spite!
Judge Milian's favorite saying, "The cheap comes out expensive" certainly applies! He probably should not have even taken the job, but she seems like she would be a pretty hard person to work for too.
My fave line by her!
@@lgreene7
what about the line
'i wouldn't believe you if your tongue came notarized' ?
Getting a licensed and insured contractor costs more money. She knew exactly what she was doing talking to the handyman next door. There is no way I'm going to assume someone I see painting, is qualified to repair a dock, and just "take his word" that he is licensed and insured. As Judge Millian says sometimes: "Lo barato sale caro" which means "What's cheap turns out expensive."
At least she measures up to her last name
If I met the plaintiff out in public completely removed from this case I would instantly not like her. He should have turned down that job.
The Plaintiff is insufferable
She’s being rewarded for hiring an unlicensed contractor it’s in her text now he has to refund her money and pay a fine she reported knowing he was unlicensed $2000 + $1700 crazy she should get nothing
Ms. Whiner is so disrespectful attempting to scream all over Judge Milian that way,SMH 😡😡
She seems like the kind of person who has "I can do stupid things" money, but also doesn't do her research, doesn't wanna pay premiums, and will complain if something doesn't go her way.....
At 13:22 when she said he is basically a nobody… and they pan to the defendant you can tell that remark hurt him.
It was a jerk move to go out of her way to say it like that.
Seems classist.
Dear plaintiff: just because a contractor has a license doesn’t mean that person will be honest or truthful 🙄🤦🏾♀️😩
She was wrong to report him to the city . She clearly has a lot of money . She did her research now didn’t she ! This man who’s a laborer has to pay fines now ? That’s not right .
He was trying to tell the judge 3 times it was temporary but she kept talking over him and then gets an attitude!!!
She always does that. She is extremely rude and sexist, but the show is so good it makes up for her.
The cheap comes out expensive🤣🤣 as JM always says.
The plaintiff knew the contractor wasn’t licensed.
Imagine being married to that woman. Oof!
I was thinking the same thing, yikes!
I was thinking the same thing. She seems like the type that has been married multiple times. If she acts like this with the handyman imagine how she would treat a husband.😳
Something tells me the plaintiffs ex husband is paying a lot of alimony.
So happy to be watching the cases on youtube! My cable company stopped playing the show!
Douglas’s face says everything through all these shenanigans
I love the cuts to the court bailiff's reactions to the things the two parties are saying.
I’m with the contractor 100% in this case.
Same
@@caitya9347 Me too.
She's a bit of a pain
she"s a LIAR!! he should have been paid for the work and supplies.
In this case I don't agree with the judge either. I believe she knew the whole deck had to be replaced and was trying to get around it. And yes she really was trying to get around having to get a permit for it.
The plaintiff is crazy and I can’t believe she was able to get the judge to have her whole money returned to her as if the defendants work didn’t matter.. smdh She knew he didn’t have a license and she also should’ve been punished for that!
When you go the cheap unlicensed route, and it doesn't work, then you shouldn't be able to complain about it and due later. You get what you paid for
Exactly! I didn't think she should have gotten all of her money back for that reason. Judge Judy would have told her exactly that, she got what she paid for.
The defendant should’ve sued for half of that $2k fine. Because she knew he wasn’t licensed and reported the defendant just to be malicious.
This Barbie Doll wannabe has a hard time with the truth.
Why would a person ask a PAINTER to build a deck? 🤔That’s like going to the dentist for a yearly health check up🤣 they both work on the body, they just do totally different jobs.
What about the work he did do?
She seems stuck up...and i trust neither...she prob has $$ and wanted to hire under the table in a sense to get cheaper...she deserves thr karma.
Idk the plaintiff already lied about “not” knowing he wasn’t licensed ... she might just have all the receipts... She seems very spiteful and vengeful (based on throwing his tools outside and all the taunting texts back to back) to sue and claim to never got them... 🤔 shes a little coocoo
I wish the judge would have given the guy a break.
I would have deducted something, for the plaintiff being dishonest. She wanted the job done without a permit, the cheapest way possible.
So it was okay with you that he wasn't licensed until you didn't get what you wanted and then you go and try to ruin his business why didn't you report yourself for using an unlicensed contractor so a dock is more important than a man's bread and butter wow!! She look evil
Making a deposit on a contracting job isn’t like putting money in Escrow. He is not obliged to use product and hardware specifically for your project and he can markup his profit as he sees fit. She contracted him to replace a dock deck, not the whole thing. Rotten pilings are her problem.
I bet she got on his nerves WHINING 😂😂.
I was in a hit and run incident roughly 1-1.5 years ago. I ended up chasing the person who hit me and police came. I didn’t have the $500 to pay the deductible and she ended up with no insurance. Is it too late to take her to court for damages?
Depends on where you live. Ask your court not us.
The Plaintiff is lying about the invoices. Her body language says she indeed did have those invoices.
I think this plaintiff was a big Karen she clearly knew that he was unlicensed if she didn't know that he was in licensed why did she send him a text warning him that there was a County vehicle across the street and when he responded saying text me when they're gone why didn't you respond saying what are you talkin about what is it matter if they're gone? She thought that she could get the job done for much cheaper and when she demanded a bill and didn't get it the very same day that she asked she flew off the handle she knew that by going to the county and trying to file a complaint against this man that they would look him up and see that he wasn't license something she already knew I don't think the Judge should have awarded her the full amount back she cost him a $2,000 fine and he hauled off for old dock for free that counts for something she's out of her mind
I love Douglas’s expressions.
Perfect name…..Mrs Winer 🤣
Miss whiner am I right?
The Plaintiff asked a guy painting a fence to help with a dock? They didn't worry about a permit until they saw the County truck, "Why, if they didn't require a permit?" Made no sense. "Was he legally licensed?" That case was crazy! He never showed her proof that he bought the stuff she needed for the dock. He was rude.
Raise your hand (provided you're a contractor) if you want to be bothered with this plaintiff.
honestly the defendant probably could have done the job plaintiff just wanted to pay the lowest cost but with the quality and no issue experience as if someone was to have quoted 10k
The animosity toward some litigants and not others...Judge would be laughing with another plaintiff.
Karen at 5th degree
She was trying to get a champagne job with a beer budget... She knew... But the judge saw differently... It is what it is.
The defendant clearly didn't order the materials because he couldn't provide the receipt. But he didn't have the proper license to do the work. But leaving the defendants fools out in the street then sending pictures was as low as it can get. Shit like that could've gotten her killed. Some guys don't play that no matter what goes wrong.
Left his fools, huh???
Hahahahaha you get em killer.
This woman is entirely unreasonable, even if she has a right to be unhappy.
It’s kinda hilarious that Judge Milian seems to have done everything everywhere. Feels like in every case…..ohh I’ve had dock work done, oh I’ve had jetskis/boats, oh I’ve done that random thing that you specialize in before…you’re wrong. 🙄
Lmao well she is seasoned lady and obv must have $$ too haha
Judge Millian's family (grand father, father, brothers, etc) are all involved in a large building enterprise. She has discussed this repeatedly, as well as what she has learnt from it. I am in an analogous position, and I would argue that this is the best kind of learning!
I love watching douglas
If the deck is shot, most of the time the base isn't far and sometime worse, as it remains full time under water? He stabilized the deck so the new crew could see the original position of the deck. If he replaced the deck, she would have claimed it was his work that caused the pilings to be damaged? Now he took on more than he's capable to do, and I'm sure used the money for other jobs, that's why he couldn't produce the receipts paid for ordered materials.
She should have had multiple quotes. She knew better and tried to cut corners.
Funny these people have no problem with these guys being unlicensed until things go south. Not all work requires a license either. Homeowners are also ultimately responsible for permits. A contractor can pull them (best) but if they don't, the owner is not off the hook. I always check for licenses, insurance and I check with the town about the permits- or pull them myself.
A frame on top won't stabilize any pilings. Before accepting the job, it is very easy to see the pilings. This is WHY you want an experienced, licensed and insured contactor. I highly doubt he got into any water.
I like how the judge beat him up on the materials issue. She was right. She should have pressed him on "where did you buy them- I will call them now. If you lie, I am dismissing this case and holding you in contempt. Under oath, "DID YOU BUY THESE MATERIALS." He was very clearly trying and failing to deceive her.
This strong willed homeowner was trying to get work done cheaply. They are both characters who deserve each other. No sympathy for either. I will say however that there are some contractors you don't want to mess with. Throwing his tools near the street and embarrassing and his reputation on TV could send some over the edge- for real.
Can i explain that having an estimate done doesn't mean its the final bill and unforeseen issues arise while completing jobs. Asking for a quick examination versus getting in the water and really inspecting it.
First he wasn't doing doing the pylons, he told her she needed to get someone to do that as he isn't licensed to do that. Then he was fined $20000 for attempting to install pylons.
There's a reason why vocational schools exist, so it's not a hobby it's a business.
She knew that man was licensed I can't stand helfas like her, she didn't get what she wanted, then she ran to tell!!
She was so horrible I wish she would have lost. She's lucky he was as incompetent as he was.
He never bought any materials 😂
I feel like something else happened between them for it to get so vicious.
Anybody else think the defendant looks like he could be the son of Mr. Bates on Downton Abbey? 😀
THAT DEFENDANTS BODY LANGUAGE AT THE LAST 2 min. Ennd ...Boy hHe was sweating 🥵 bricks....NERVOUS AS HELL...@ JUS .DO IT RIGHT ; SAVE YA 🤔 LIFE😜😜😜
Karma is so funny name fits the plaintiff! 😝
I wish the judge would stop yelling. I had to turn it off midway.
she’s acting like she’s gif clean hands. she was having work done in the down low and cheap and expected the world.
warning the guy about the city inspector so she wouldn’t get in trouble. she should get fined $3000
DO THE JOB YOURSELF LADY.
The plaintiff looks a lot like Lori Loughlin and acts just as unscrupulous and entitled.
😂😂
I don’t agree with this verdict at all.
JM: “There is no value to what you did”
Plaintiff: “I’m going to have to tear the whole thing down”
And part of it was already torn down… thus, his work had *some* value. 🙄 I don’t believe him over the materials as it should be easy to prove he has them or bought them. But he still did work that had value. She didn’t deserve all her money back at all, she played the game and lost and yet gets to undo it anyway.
I would DO anything to see Judge Milian in court as a prosecutor!!! She’s dope at her job!!!
This judge gets too personal, she is supposed to represent the blind folded scales of justice, not personality minded.
The Plaintiff was a vicious women And the defendant was untrustworthy.
Lesson learnt 😅 ohh and the Judge husbands Rat story 😮OMGOSH Scary
15:33 Douglas listening to Jay-Z
Good judgment. I think both were in the wrong here.
I don't believe the plaintiff she sounds like someone who would do something illegal but also someone who would call the authorities if she saw something illegal
you can tell she's the type of woman called A Karen
I love THE PEOPLES COURT altho I'm an Aussie, but I especially like the clips with the ASK A QUESTION session tagged on the end. Judge Marilyn Milian you are a RIPPER!
Haha, Doyle has to wear a mask, but Doug doesn't...
Both of them are rude and out of order with this case. Nasty attitudes all around 😒
Once she needed new piling she needed a permit she is trying to do it cheap and it cost more . I order trex materials during the pandemic it took 11 months for materials to get to me
The bailiff Douglas😍
Worst kind of customer, wants a deal acts all nice then becomes a demanding demon they know there paying probably half the actual cost but demands the labor of a high end company then when your almost done they’ll throw you out only paying for materials
Idk I'm not feeling the plaintiff. sheesh.
Don't try to cheat the system. You'll get bite everytime. If not on this job but down the road.
Shes LYING about those receipts!
YOU NEED TO FIX THE PILINGS FIRST !!!! cause they will rip up your dock cause pilings need to be set in. theb you add the dock. a Sandy survivor
