Can I sue someone who keeps telling me I won $10,000,000 when I didn't?

Woo-hoo! Go for it! I'd love to see you win it, then the rest of us could sue. It would send a strong message to the masses for sure.

You're the client. If you're paying him by the hour I would ask him to arrange for a settlement with the insurance company or whoever you're suing. However, if he's agreed to take a % of your winnings you might want to ask him how much more he expects to win by holding out longer. If it's not a substantial amount and you want to settle sooner rather than later ask your lawyer to do so. If you're at the point of financial hardship, he will not be allowed to refuse.

GET A LAWYER!! seriously they can't screw you like that I'm sure. Call Balkin and Doran. There are some places advertised on regular cable (2 or 3 am that's all you see) that will pay up front and you don't have to pay them back if you lose. You only pay them if you win.

go to small claims court, I bet they would rule in your favor.

Sounds like a case that is very difficult to prove. You have to gather all written documentation and any "proof" of your circumstance. Also you have to verify the confidentiality laws concerning your issue. Once you have written proof and verification of your alligation you have to present this case to as MANY different lawyers as you can to try and get one of them to "bite".  Try and target a lawyer who will get a commision based on winning as this will give them an insentitive.

Judge Joe Brown would love for you to give him a call.  LOL, but if not, Small Claims Court is definately the way to go.  It helps if you have documentation that you actually gave them the money (such as a cancelled check).  But the odds are your friend wont show up for court anyway, and you'll just get a default judgement for the $$.  Of course, collecting the $$ after that can be a whole new challenge.

Unless you borrowed money with an intent to defraud them, and they can prove it, then they can not arrest you.  \n\nIf a collections agency tell you this, and you can get it on tape or in writing, well.....what can you do with $1000.  That's what you can sue them for.

Its hard to say.. When you went to court you should have made sure that the 6000 was going to be taken care of by the other party. If the person you went to court with has no money.. and probably never will.. don't expect a dime.. after lawyer fee's and all that other crap.. it won't be worth it.. if the other party does have money.. its probably time for a lawsuit if you have not received the money you should have been entitled to...

You will win the lawsuit very easy, but then that does not give you the money, all you will have is a judgement against them, so you would have to try to attach bank accounts or granish their paychecks.\n\nOf course you can also sue the person who wrote the check, and also call the police and file criminal charges on the person who wrote the check.\n\nNext if it was a "plot" and the perosn knew the check was no good, the police may arrest him for fruad also if you can prove it.

He can sue you, sure.   Whether or not he can WIN is the real issue, and as long as you told the truth, you have a pretty good defense.  If he is harassing you by phone and threatening, I think THAT's his intent - just to give you a hard time.  His legal costs would be pretty significant, and, even if yor story is only PART true, he stands little chance of collecting from you (although a trail is a hassle, and you would have some expense).\n\nSounds like he's playing "chicken."  Make sure your version of the story is accurate, and then ignore him.  Or if you don't think the harassment is worth posting a complaint, remove it and get over it.  If the complaint is legitimate, you should report him to the BBB.  And if it were me, I would post something with THAT, and just say  you had a very bad experience.

i agree with the guy who says pull his legs off. then you could beat him with them!! take him to court even if you can't get the money back you can be a pain in his ***!!!

it sounds like the local authorities are out to get you (for whatever reason). My recommendation is that you find an out-of-town lawer and call teh FBI to see if tehy will put certain local officials under investigation. People thinkt his kind of underhanded stuff just doesn't happen anymore but I've seen it a million times. You may want to even get an out-of-state lawyer to take the case just in case. If you lose the case and the FBI finds things wrong in the local authorities you may get a chance to get your money back with interest.

Take your loss adn move on. Whatever your suing for will cost you more money in small claims court than you can get out of a company that went bankrupt. sorry

yes, you can sue. anyone can sue anyone, for anything. but whether they win or not is a different story. i work at a store similar to kmart, and we prosecute anyone who steals anything over $15. Think...what do they gain by charging you all that money? you go here and tell all of us that they charged you $400...and you probably told your fam. and friends too, right? well that sends out the message to all of us to NOT STEAL FROM KMART. that is exactly what they want. the moral of this story is to not steal from kmart.

Seriously.  None.  In the end he will be told to give you one half of what ever he got.  I have seen this happen many times.  I work for an attorney.  If your not close to trial then not much is going to happen.  Even then you will just have to get compensated.

You sister can get her money back there was no EXACT time all and your sister needs to argue it with them and if they still refuse file a claim in smalls claim court.
