Any Attorneys or lawyers here?
Are there any lawyers or attorneys on here? Someone owes me money, and I want to know if I should hire someone, or pursue small claims court myself, as well as what my options are? Post, PM, or email (will3ptman@wi.rr.com)

Find them and beat them with a stick and then drag them to an ATM and get your money!!!!!
Check the law in your state, and the Small Claims Court maximums. Make your decision based on what is owed versus how much you will have to pay an attorney to collect.

Some lawyers will write a letter for you on the cheap. It's kinda like cocking a shotgun, it really gets someone's attention. I hope this was helpful. MM

Re: Any Attorneys or lawyers here?
Any one have any ideas on how much evidence will be needed to gaurantee a victory? Would someone else's statement that is knowledgeable of the situation and partially involved be enough? Basically someone owes me money- a neutral friend of both of us agreed to take over the debt on certain terms and he would pay me. Well, they agreed to terms, but the guy never came through. What do i do? If i hire a lawyer, am i able to sue for court costs,and lawyer fees? Y should I have to pay money to get my own money back? I think i'm just going to break this guys knees and call it even.

I don't know much about how to win your case. But when dealing with other people, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document, document.
never do ANYTHING without a signed, written agreement.
Around here we call the monetary loss a "stupid tax".

If it's a lot of money pony up a few bucks and buy an hours consultation with a lawyer. If it's small money and you could take the hit try small claims court.
Do a search for Wisconsin guide to small claims court. They have a download to enlighten you.

well kid, if you didn't get in writing, I don't care what state you are in, you are more than likely screwed...if it were important enough to make the deal, then you should have drawn up a contract. You can download a copy of just about any contract, get creditable witnesses and notary, and there you go...but you didn't do that did you...lesson learned...as for the beating him up, that will also you cost you in the end as well, so I would count my losses and move on...
