Let me also add that he has told us he isnt gonna give us a refund and i suspect he has lost the recordings.

>>17600997
Yes.

Talk to a lawyer.

A lawyer's going to cost you more than $300. If there's a small claims court where you live, look into that, otherwise write it off as a loss and don't be stupid next time.

A lot of lawyers give half a hour free consolations some even more.

It's a good first legal step to take.

>>17601019
Sure, but any further action by the lawyer will cost them more than the money they've lost. Lawyers generally don't work for free.

If he "lost the recordings" he's not a professional and you don't want to work with him anyways.

The lawyer, knowing this is a question of $300, isn't going to try to get him to pay for more of his high-priced time

He will give his half hour free consult because that's how a relationship starts and in the future when OP needs a lawyer, hey let's go with that cool lawyer that helped me for free

>>17601028
I'm not an idiot, of course that's fucking going to happen, but that doesn't help OP *now*

They're wasting everyone's time by going to see a lawyer. He can go if he wants, but it's not going to go anywhere once the timer for his 30 minutes is up. I'm not sure if you missed it, but I suggested a small claims court as an alternative, which often doesn't require any legal representation or anything.

Stop being a mornon looking for a argument and take a while to think about it for a moment.

Op uses the free consolation to see where his legal standing is. A lawyer is going to have better understanding of ops legal standing and the actions that he can take then a bunch of know it's all on advice will have put together.
