Help: Legal Action Against Area Mechanic

You joined FChat today just to ask this? Hire a lawyer.

 

If you could share some details. Car, agreed upon work, fault found,etc... You might get some support.

 

I like this phrase.

Not only is a lawsuit a "need" instead of a "want", it's downright needless to say it.

 

This.

Take 5 minutes or expect replies like the former. We hear **** like this all the time and have become desensitized. Often times just a witch hunt. Prove to us you are different and you will get loads of advice.

 

Of course you can do this with or without using the name of the shop - your choice. But be ready with some details - reason for work needed, work promised vs work delivered, why you feel wronged, attempts to rectify, etc.

As noted, with a well thought out and presented request for info/advice, you will get proper responses/advice.

FWIW,
The only thing the OP did was inquire as to whether there were any attorneys or legal experts on the site who could help him with a potential suit against a mechanic. It was an innocent question and it would seem logical that a forum such as this would be the appropriate place to post such a question.

Depending on what type of issue he is facing, a regular attorney yanked out of the phone book will not be of much use, so just telling him to "hire an attorney" is not very helpful.

I don't see this as an attempt to bait or smear anyone as he deliberately did not name the shop or even whether it involves an exotic car at all.


FWIW, I do not practice in Virginia, but as an attorney who represents dealers/mechanics and individuals in automobile related litigation, as a general matter I would discourage anyone with a bonafide legal claim from mentioning the dealer or anything else related to a potential claim on a public forum unless or until he has contacted appropriate counsel.

He has done the smart thing by asking that anyone who could offer him guidance contact him via PM.

 

I'm just laughing at the username... love the Fletch reference!

 

+1!

I was going to call him out on it, but then I thought….what if it's his real name!

 

An anonymous account is OK, but a duplicate account by an existing user is not. You will have to find some other way to get your goals accomplished.

This account is permabanned.

 

Just curious, why does FerrariChat care if an existing user has a duplicate account? Not trying to be argumentative, I just don't understand....

Thanks,

Nefarious purposes? Seems to me, if I have need of assistance or advice in this forum, I would ask it under my own name.

 

It's a pretty common rule on forums and chat sites. Allowing multiple names is a slippery slope and helps trolling, fraud, and general bad behavior. While a single comment may not seem bad, it's just good policy for the community.

 

Yep, got it now, thanks!
