Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

wedding vendor no-show. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 11 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $108,000.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably common law contract principles, which requires showing unconscionable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. But yeah, have someone look at your specific situation.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.

My buddy went through something identical.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

This is one of those situations where even a quick legal consult pays for itself.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
