Northern L.A. Car Guy Attorney Needed

I hired a restoration shop in Lancaster (Custom Classics) to do the metal work and paint on my Ferrari Lusso last year. He had done a really poor job on the rear deck lid that needed repair and when i pointed that out he quit. Subsequently i had the car stripped back to bare metal when he failed to provide the pictures of the metal work pre-primer that was stipulated in our agreement.

He had not done any of the metal work and instead had covered it with bondo up to 1" thick. We weighed the bond the came off the car at over 50lbs.

It has cots me over $20,000 to get the body stripped, the rear deck lid fixed and some parts made that he lost. In addition i had given him almost $8,000 to start the work.

I live out of state and would appreciate any recommendations for a good attorney in the Northern L.A. area.
Aloha,

Try Dan Baldwin. I had him do some traffic stuff and he was very reasonable and about as effective as can be. His site mentions litigation and he's up there so it'd be worth a call to find out what he can do for you? Good luck.

where are you located and how did you find the guy in lancaster?
lancaster is off the beaten path....

 

Have you found a new shop to do the work? There are some great shops posted here.

 

Mark, I sent you a private message.

 

Really? It's all about homework and referrals. On a Lusso? What was your original budget? You needed to know who you were dealing with. Sorry for your loss, but it's "buyer beware" out there. Were you shopping for a "deal"? You obviously didn't get a deal.

 

Pm sent

 

lancaster might be considered so cal.

 

Thanks for the advice! It sounds like a good place to start. I filed a complaint and will see where that goes.
aloha,
Mark
