Q: what steps/rights do I have to get my personal property back?
I was fired from job and trying to get personal property back...even though she made arrangement for me to come that day at 5:00 and she didn't show up. she refuses to give me my personal items back. I have called, text, reg letter. 3 months later, she sends me a text and tells me she has put my property in alley and I did not see/get text until next day. went there and and could not find items...so thought again she was lying...got a call later that day and someone found a item of mine...so I believe she put my stuff in alley like trash...I am talking about thousands of dollars of stuff, work DVDS, ($750-900.) clippers, milady manual worth 350-400 dollars, manq's, tripods, new radio, several books, license/to work,certif. posters/papers, small lamp etc... What can I do? 25 years of personal work property...I teach Cosmetology...
A: If it is worth that much, find a local attorney to send her a demand letter. A good attorney may also find other things to go after (such as wage and hour violations, final paycheck issues, etc.), and many attorneys will do flat rate work for a simple demand letter.
