"I'm a contractor, what would I want to draw up a contract for?"

Do👏 NOT 👏USE👏 AN👏 UNLICENSED 👏CONTRACTOR

If he’s not licensed he’s not a “contractor” he’s a person wasting your dam time

You should always have a contract , and confirm a license

He's unlicensed, I don't foresee it going well for him.

I love how Bird smiled at him knowing he is screwed. 😀

An Investor nightmare!!!! Cameras Inside Outside and Above for absentee owners…folk will rob you blind 👩🏿‍⚖️

Took everything, even the kitchen sink !

The plaintiff have all her documents in order🥵

Omg?!? How is this not a criminal case?!??😮😮😮

Defendant: “It was a word-of-mouth contract.”

OMG cleaned out everything?? what a case!! Can't wait for part 2.

I would never think to check on if a contractor had a licence if he was referred to me. However, I will if I ever need one.

One of the most prepared plaintiffs I have seen on JJ with dates and paperwork. With how organized she is, would have thought she would have looked more into who she hired.

Judgement for the plaintiff! Good bye!😃

Good for her for being so organized! I also love that hair color on her!

Contractors are such scammers. Always go to your friends and family for recommendations of people who actually did work for them, and never mess with someone unlicensed and uninsured. 👎

This woman’s organization is on point with this tabbed binder system 👏🏾

They took everything AND the kitchen sink

He looks like he already had that case of Corona before court LOL!!!!

Bro took EVERYTHING 😭

I cannot get over the house price.. A duplex for 300,000 in san diego... that is insane

This is the problem with these “independent contractors.” Stop using them!!!

The defendant is a two-bit hustler and a common thief

I dont have to hear the case........HE DID IT!!!

Contractors absolutely 100% do work like this on an oral contract.

Wtf is a word of mouth contract😂

Pleaseee let there be a random neighbours ring door bell video as evidence 🙂

Question when they sue for more than 5000 and is awarded the maximum, do they call the remaining a loss?

I live in a state that doesn’t require a license to be a contractor and people regularly have their down payment stolen and never see the handyman again.

Yeah, going to an unlicensed person to get the work done cheaper is never a good idea. The insurance risk alone is too much. Get a reputable licensed and bonded contractor, and get the scope of work in writing, including prices and final delivery dates. Specify all items that are provided or will be provided by the contract (and note which is which). Make sure it lists that final payment will be withheld until an independent inspector signs off on it. Oh, and if there are change orders, make sure all change orders are also done in writing.

300 thousand buys you a parking space in NYC🎉🎉🎉

This is why it's extremely important to have a contact

That grin Bird gave the defendant once she said had those receipts #weredone

Well he’s unlicensed no wonder he thinks he doesn’t need a contract 😂

wowww that sounds like an absolute nightmare! I feel bad for the plaintiff. Such shitty people exist in this world, so sad

She is cool and know her stuff

Contractor? More like CROOK! Get him JJ!🎉❤ LOVE JJ FOREVER!🎉❤

There are so many fly by night contractors. Both sides benefit from not just having contracts but doing background checks. Know what you're getting into from the start.

Over 500$ honey that's already Federal 😹😹😹 he's so screwed

2:59 STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS... Stailes steel.

Husband and his father before him was a concrete contractor, always did proposal followed by contract.

Judge Judy: Have you ever been contacted by the police? Defendant: No ma'am. Judge Judy: Well, you should be.

The plaintiff sounds like a really smart well established lady and has all her documents in order. Too bad she got taken advantage of by the defendant and didn’t know he wasn’t licensed

You sure did clean everything 😂😂😂😂😂😂

She bought brand new stuff for her tenants ❤

Scammer and a thief. Judge Judy: "Are you a migrant?".....Defendant: "Yes ma'am."

He look like he did it lol. His facial expressions tell all

In California especially, confirm with the State Board that the contractor actually has a license, and the license is in good standing. Also get proof of identity , like Driver's license, etc. There are far too many shady and scamming " construction" people out here.

I’m still on the pre roll teaser… HE IS GUILTY

I love a good binder.

2:52 Those two women in the audience must be twin sisters. Same face.

Do you have a contract-or. Its in the title😂😂😂

Thief!

Hello lunch crew 😊.

$300,000 for a duplex, ea w 2 beds and 3 car garages?!?!?! 😮😮 That is CHEEEEAAAAAAPPPP! And it had to be relatively recent cause she mentioned 2018 so it had to be after that. I wish prices were that low where I live!!!

Ughh i need part 2

Lunch crew! What’s for lunch Judy fans?

Please tell me where in San Diego you can find a two flat for $300k????

He's not a legit contractor... he's a scammer. He should be in prison for this. This is thief. I hope she is more careful next time.

A duplex in San Diego for $300K???? What year was this?

sure looks guilty to me

"They just want to have a better life" Right?

Is this a re-upload or am I having deja vu?

Good afternoon lunch crew greetings from PEI 🇨🇦✌️❤️💯 Shout out where y'all are

"Judgment for the defendant due to the plaintiff's appearance." I hate that.

This is why i don't refer anyone foe anything

If I was her I would of done so many things differently. One thing of many I would of put cameras in and out of the home especially if she was not there to watch the property

I'm wondering if he is already doing that type of work and his work is good according to the references, how hard and how much would it cost for him to be licensed as a contractor?!🤔

If you hired a licensed and BONDED contractor… you would have an insurance company to pursue for any wrong doing or negligence. Victimof your own cheapness.

Yeah this episode must be at least 20 yrs old cuz i live there and no where in San Diego can you get a duplex property for $300K

House flippers are the worse. Especially in a housing crisis.

The contractor is a scam artist

nhan vat nay toi nhin quen quen moi dau toi cu thay ngo ngo nhung ma khong phai nguoi y khong phai la em ma nguoi do chinh la nguoi khac

Why is the defendant eyes like that? Was he trying to be sexy?!

The summer of 218???

The defendant really needs a gym membership…he has a body like Sophia, from Golden Girls.

First

First😂

I bet she had a cute nose b4, it’s annoying me so bad,

How is that poor lady breathing out of her nose... Her nostrils look tiny!!!!!!!!!

Her nose is distracting.

I wonder if the defendant is even legal. He seems like someone in America to steal people blind. A lot of that going on in Southern CA.
