This reminds me of the time my parents hired 2 neighborhood addicts to do our bathroom tiles. They were not licensed contractors and didn't use any measuring devices. They just laid the tiles by hand, and eye-balled as they went. What should have been straight tiles ended up being crooked. Like someone just threw the tile on the floor and glued them exactly where they fell. Even as a child I was mystified. Lesson learned at age 10: don't hire "cheap" labor 😂😂

Omgggg 🤣🤣🤣🤣those pictures are gold!!!! The floor has a hill..🤣!this judge looooooves pictures like that!!!!!

1. Plaintiff can’t sue the other guy if she doesn’t have his info, because only the defendant knows everything about him 2. If plaintiff sues the other guy, he can say “this woman has never paid me a penny” or “my cut was only $150” Judge got it 100% right.

She should have checked to see if the “ contractor “ was licensed & insured.

Surprised he didn’t say ,”carpenter, he hardly knew her!”

This plaintiff should have made him sign a written contract for what needed to be done

That self leveling "acid" she referred to is for concrete floors. There is nothing to level a warped wood floor except supporting or rebuilding.

The defendant's insistence that, even though the checks were all written to him, for some reason he shouldn't be considered the prime contractor amazes me. I wish the judge would have let him present his argument and make an even bigger fool of himself.

The other worker has no I.D.?? Illegal worker I presume!

Contractor cases are absolutely hilarious, the entire flooring looked terrible 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love the plaintiffs hair!!! 😍

My husband was a contractor in NC and he would sub out jobs such as electrical, plumbing , and others. Husband had a situation where a sub did crappy tile so he had to go back and fix the tile work. It doesn't matter who did the work in end all that matters is who the homeowner signed the contract with....

"I'm just a helper." You know how the 'helpers' get ALL checks, made out to them...

What's with the Herman Munster bangs on the defendant?

Turn this case into a drinking game : every time you hear the word “helper” take a drink.

"he didn't have an ID on him that day" - so he wasn't able to take a check?? great case- lesson on both sides= get it in writing! (& I'm always happy to hear "the cheap comes out expensive")

Going cheap cost more money! Where’s Johnny?

Now the defendant can go after Johnny and sue him

I don't think I've ever had anyone ask me for an I.D. when they were writing me a check. Sure, you have to have one when you cash it, or write it to someone else, but to accept a check, I've never heard of that. We all know the defendant is crooked, but that was the easiest part of his story to kill. I wish the judge had called him out on that.

Plaintiff has the most perfect hair I’ve ever seen

Dude trying to pretend he was just “a helper”. GTFOH It’s on you, Pal.

Plaintiff CAN'T sue the other guy because he has NO ID!.........😂😢

What kind of dopes go into this kind of situation without signed contracts?

lol now doug is saying fugazi. the peoples court loves that word lol

A lot of people who are in business and savvy make a lot of not so smart decisions. They get no contracts and have no meetings of the mind.

I just got ID'd and im 34

Plaintiff is so pretty

Plaintiff and defendant are working with about 2.5 brain cells between them 😂

Electrician wanted to play contractors/Project manager and got burnt his first try lolol

The plaintiff probably knew the defendant and the defendant told her he could get the work done cheaply by workers who have no ID. In the end she got what she paid for.

She coulda, shoulda, woulda.

It's crazy for the lady not to even write anything on the check's memo line for documentation. And then no written or email contract.

Wherever the buck stops, that's where the responsibility lies. The contractor pays the subs. The contractor is responsible. It is simple.

Why didn't she name both of them on her lawsuit

Why does she look so excited and happy every time someone tells her that she paid for a cheap job

He bangs! He bangs!

I was waiting to see two horses in the foyer with the man . Lol 😂

Sometimes I wish the Judge would stop yelling all the time

I'm really jealous of the plaintiff's hair.

NOW THE DEFENDANT KNOW THAT HE'S LYING ABT JUST BEING THE HELPER. SEE NOW HE LOST A CUSTOMER HIS FACE IS ON NATIONAL TELEVISION SMDH NOW RETURN $1200 . POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

She should have checked their credentials, made a contract and most importantly not try to take the easy way out.

Why do people allow these big jobs without something in writing?

Next time? A licensed contractor. When you're going the cheap route, you're going to get what you pay for.

Why she smiled like that when she gave pics 😂😂😂

Oh Mr electrician you are such a liar it's your job you`re responsible

I was waiting for the ill disciplined screamer to pop out and lo and behold, 11:34 it happened. Screaming judge!!

Lady should have let him sign a contract or write a note n let him sign it. Guy got paid n he left in a hurry

She is like most rich people wanted something for nothing and was using the poor workers to get it

If he's only a "helper" then he can sue the other guy. He may not succeed but it's worth a try

Call the other man on the phone while in court 😂. You know the judge will 😂

Maybe he was a hamburger helper? 😐🤦‍♂️

He wasn’t just a helper. He was the project manager per say

She thought her beauty was going to be used.

Her hair? Good grief

He’s a little too old for those nineties boy band bangs! GET A BARBER!😬😬

My husband‘s a professional and he runs into people wanting to do it on the cheap on the side, wanting him to tell them how to do it when he has thousands of dollars of equipment and education so don’t give your AC company technicians or heating technicians a problemdon’t look over their shoulders constantly stand back. Don’t talk to them. It slows them down.

Plaintiff is adorable ❤

People's WORD means zip these days. Anyone contracting construction work with my deceased husband and I always had a written contract and our WORD to do it well and with little waste. They depended on our word and we depended on their word to pay us. In 20 years, we NEVER had a problem or got sued or called back to fix anything we did. We were always paid on time, what we charged. No integrity these days. No pride in the work. Too many people trying to get a premium job done on pennies. What a mess.

What's wrong with the JUDGE? He's Innocent is just the HELPER

I would run away from this woman

Look if I’m the helper the boss not having his ID has nothing to do with me!!

He's not the BOSS 😡 He's the HELPER

looks like the "chic" and the "turkey" both got roasted

Maybe it's my imagination, but the judge and the plaintiff look like they would be friends... not the similarities in look but just the personalities. Two ladies that are on top of their business.😊.. the judge more so but still

Tony Danza has entered the chat

If she doesn’t have a contract with him it is hard to prove her case, but the judge is always right

This is why when you hire someone you specifically tell them no subcontractors on your job and if you don't know what it should look like find someone who does to check it at the end.

She does have great hair among other things!❤

Carpenter? I hardly knew her!

Beautiful hair, thick & her part line is perfect.

Rocking the uspa smh 😂

Great looker, pretty air dress, winner every time

What so fantasy a bout her hair nothing

Literally greasy..

But this mook brought the carpenter into the picture. He's the contractor, he is responsible. He can go after his pal.

The Plaintiff is so cute - got that Jennifer Aniston haircut

People are cheap, hire whoever to save money and then they are fussy about results as if they could afford a legit business...

Hair is drawn on with a sharpie

Those messy tiles absolutely will be a pain in the rear to remove. Yes some can be glued and some will come off easy. "You can't have both!" Yeah ok.. 🙄

The giddy smile at 3:10

The defendant's hair cut tells you all you need to know.

ID to write a check? He was definitely lying

That was a 100% fair judgement, but I can't help feeling a bit sorry for the defendant. He seemed really honest but in a bad position. Still, if you collect the checks, you must be the bill payer, even if you're not.

Plaintiff looks a little like Candace Cameron.

She's decent lookin

Why do you need ID to get a check?

The missing partner of the so called tag team who were doing the work, he should have been subpoenaed

Guy Looks drunk It’s his friend lumpy …

She has great hair! 💯

Me too

She was dumb to have nothing in writing or she might have gotten more because it was a horrible job. But, yeah, he got the money so he pays!

Nooooo. Iii doaoooo noooooo.... its floor level not acid.....

We called it "Mickey Mouse" if you do the shiiity job.

Actually it’s not that uncommon when illegal work is being done. I’ve been on jobs where we weren’t paid by the lead but we got cash from the foreman while everyone was taken instructions from the person we knew was the “boss”.

John, the electrician: "Well, I've already been paid." Judge Milian: "Oh!" I think that means the plaintiff is suing the right person, no matter what he claims.

Plaintiff looks a little bit like Candace Cameron/DJ Tanner 😮

a floor that is not even, requires a structual engineer to examine it before it collapses. the floor first has to be reinforces( usually with wood or iron) To level the floor requires that the floor be ripped up and the sagging joist replaced!!!( landlord never want that). OLD FOORS ARE NEVER LEVELED BY THE OWNER ( IT COST TOO MUCH), so they usually just sandwich(add wood or iron to the joist(wooden beams) to reinforce the floor. Having a moron work on a floor is VERY DANGEROUS. A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER HAD TO EXAMING THE JOIST (BEAMS UNDER THE FLOOR FIRST). IN NYC EVERY FLOOR SAGS AND WHEN YOU CALL THE NYC BUILDINGS DEPT THEY SAY" WE ONLY GO OUT IF YOU SEE THE BUILDING COMING DOWN" IN ANY OTHER CITY, YOU COULD NOT SELL A BUILDING WITH SAGGING FLOORS, BUT ANY THING GOES IN NYC.

The judge doesn’t look like that anymore, this case is old .

The defendant is a liar and a fool.

Im suprise they didnt try to get him for his suspicious hair piece, lol...Trump 2024...
