I purchased a machine from a company who has not been able to make it work and has pretty much left me with a defective machine. I wanted to search if there are any others companies out there like myself?

It is very unusual for a case to take 8 years to get to Court. The most congested calendars in New York State, including the Bronx, would still not take 8 years for a case to get to Court.
