Q: need an attorney for small clams in Broward county
I have been giving the wrong material on a construction material based on their expertise, only 80% correct I returned the 20% defection material that they kept and then their charge me additional $300. for the correct material that they made the mistake on, that they should have included in the order that I returned the defective material
A: Your inquiry is a bit unclear on the amount in dispute. If I understand correctly, you are disputing a $300 overcharge. For that amount or any amount under $1,000, it's probably not worthwhile for an attorney to take your case UNLESS there is a way for the attorney to make money by way of a court award of attorney's fees, which might be possible if you have a contract with the other party that has an attorney's fees clause, or if the conduct happens to be the type of conduct prohibited by the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
