Even though the plaintiff noticed there was no license number after she signed the contract, he still tried to accommodate her, but it wasn't good enough. Glad he got to keep the $900.

That makes absolutely no sense! Being bonded for one profession doesn't cover you for another. This woman is off her rocker!

Her whole complaint about his not having a license was a ruse. She was trying to help her friend make some money, and when defendant said he didn't want friend working with him because she's a drunk, plaintiff changed her mind. Simple as that. Glad he won.

The plaintiff is ridiculous & over the top, and it's not as if he was doing a home remodel or anything close. He seems to be a nice enough guy and I'm so glad he won against this ridiculous woman.

The defendant seems like a good dude. I'm glad he won

I always find it funny when someone sues someone and the defendant wins 🤣

I knew this lady was going to lose the case the second she said she signed a contract.

Excellent verdict. What kind of damage could he do painting her house, a broken window at most?

I have a feeling the friend that wanted to work for him was in the room with that plaintiff, And theirs a lot more to the story! Those ladies are drinking buddies! lol And liars!

He sang to the judges heart with "no good deed goes unpunished"!

Plantiff knew full well that the defendant was an unlicensed painter. So after knowing that she knowingly made a deal with the devil.

My boyfriend has a friend who is in real estate and his friend actually contracts my boyfriend out to paint houses for folks all the time. He is not license or bonded and he assumes all medical liability. So he signs a contract that if he gets hurt on the job he will not sue the homeowners. He also signs stating that he will be responsible for any damage that may happen that is HIS fault. But other then that he paints the houses and he does it professionally and he is amazing at it and makes good money doing so. You do not have to be licensed to paint houses. You can be but you do not have to be. It is cheaper for the homeowners this way and we have never had a problem with any of the houses he has painted. Honestly the homeowners are always happy with his work. So it all works out in the end. But this lady here seems fishy to me.... something just feels off by the way she was looking behind her computer as to have non verbal communication with someone (probably her friend) while in court and idk her story .... it feels like she was setting this man up for a lawsuit all along. Anyways I am happy he prevailed for sure and didn't have to repay this woman.

I love the conversation between the judge and her husband at the end of these shows. They also look so great together. They should make a show together.

Wow was the plaintiff trying to force the defendant to hire her friend ?? What a nasty person

The plaintiff was just never happy, even when he was prepared to get the license and the bonding, (at his own expense) she still wasn't happy, I'm glad he didn't have to give anything back...

She stated at the end she made a mistake... So madam, don't lie just said you made a mistake and hopes he will help you out... I bet that $450 she would have gotten back sounds real nice now...

First mistake of the Plaintiff, she said a friend across the street hired the Defendant to do work on her house and then the friend went to work for him instead? Sounded weird.

Wow, so the plaintiffs friend stops working as a subcontractor for the defendant, then all of a sudden, the defendant isn’t good enough to do the work he was contracted for. It really irritates me that Marilyn was bashing unlicensed contractors. She was basically saying that unlicensed contractors workmanship is of lower quality than a licensed contractor because they don’t care, they don’t take pride in their work. That’s such BS. Sure some unlicensed contractors do subpar work, just as some licensed contractors do subpar work. I know some unlicensed contractors, such as myself, who’s workmanship is at the level off quality as many licensed contractors, if not better. 90% of my work comes from referrals. That speaks volumes. I can and often times do charge just as much as a licensed contractor for my work because of the quality. My customers have never had an issue with that. I am currently going through the process of obtaining my GC license, but in the mean time, I stay busy because I care about my work and I take pride in it. I treat every job as if I’m doing the work on my own home. It was very wrong of Marilyn to group all licensed contractors above all unlicensed contractors. It’s just like every other field. There are people that are good at their job and take pride in it, and others that just show up to collect a check.

She knew he didn't have a license for sure!!

I’ve been a painter for 20 years. This is the exact type of customer I refuse to work for.

The defendant from jumpstreet let folks know that he doesn't have a license or insurance app it's YOUR fault if things turn bad 😂😞

Liar, liar, she's a liar...

You should let me make you a pair of earrings Mrs Millian🥰🥰 love your style

idk why it matters if he offered a settlement. She didn’t take one of the offers so why hold him to it, part of the deal is resolving it there and not going to court. That benefit is gone, so what’s the point?

Plaintiff is ridiculous. Period.

Omg his “s” whistles were getting on my nerves

Cmon, lady....really???? I'm halfway thru, and the papers rustling is driving me away....think he's a bit nervous.....😉👁👁

The plaintiff just wanted something for nothing. She is ridiculous as heck. She's just using his none license as a excuse.

That plaintiff was a sneak. You could see it in her face she didn't want the defendant pointing out that her friend was a drunk and he didn't want to hire her. Let the plaintiff hire the drunk and see what she will have to deal with.

YAY!!! He won!!

I owned a painting business for 15 years until the economy crashed in 2008,2009.I was licensed and insured not bonded and had more work than I could shake a stick at. I had a very good reputation and still do today. I still do a little on the side not allot and do good work, maybe 3 or 4a year but I'm also a certified mechanic and do more of that on the side.

1:30-1:35 Rick looked like he was high as the SKY 😂. I need some of that herb 🌿 Rick

plaintiff was looking to scam a bond company and did not notice he was NOT bonded till to late.

My grandmother used to say, cheap because expensive.

I've noticed some people are in hotel rooms... Do they do that because some people don't have wifi and/or a laptop?

I will send you the defendant that it's time to change those dentures because all I can hear is whistling I can't hear any words really, in the whistling is very annoying

Listening to the defendants voice, I would say the defendant is too old and should retire. He’s not young and it would be painful for him to do all that work. The deposit was to pick up the supplies. He should see if he can return them and give the money back to the plaintiff. The deposit wasn’t a nonrefundable deposit for the defendant to start the job. Licensed painter? No such thing. However , make sure the painter is experienced , or he’ll make the place worse off after painting than if it was never painted at all. Sorry for the newbees, but that is the truth.

The gentleman needs to quit playing with (IDK) what sounds like paper, or whatever is on his table/desk. It really causes a lot of noise during this court case.

license exists so the govt can tax you. no other reason. i hire handymen all the time so the govt can't tax them.

Judge felt bad for the guy and it clearly shows. If that was a black guy who wasn't licensed and put on the contract that they were she would NEVER reward that conduct but she seen her family of contractors in this guy so showed favoritism and less about law

Why am I thinking they deserve each other even before I watch this?
