Anyone knows where I could consult a lawyer about a scam?
Ok so I was taking a college degree on film sience and I wanted to do a pretty cool sci-fi project. A teacher there recommended me a friend of his that happened to have theater background and did awesome puppets.
So anyways we agreed on a deal that he would make a kickass puppet creature for me for the hefty amount of 2k usd. He kept giving me recipts every time that I payed him - we divided it into 4 payments so that he could get stuff and material.
Anyways he showed me a prototype and it was amazing, so I trusted on this guy.
Next time I saw him he gave basically something that looked even worse than the prototype and the bastard was going to europe for vacations... guess with who's money.
So I was outraged with him and he acted all offended and like I had payed him for his "creative time"
I asked him for a money return and he said it wasnt possible becuase of what I just mentioned.
So not only did this guy made me loose my fucking semester but made me look like fucking jackass among my friends, classmates and family.
He was a fucking hipster with glasses.
So I wanted to talk with a lawyer about this, I know that for 2k usd probably wouldnt be "worth its time" but if we talk that becuse of his lack of product delivery I lost the entire semester, wouldnt he basically have to pay my semester back?
please help guys.
>becuse of his lack of product delivery I lost the entire semester
maybe you should've signed up for some other class than "hey look at my puppet 101"
"Hi professor, look at my puppet, can I have a passing grade now because I own a puppet" "why yes of course anon, that's what you learn in school and are graded on, buying puppets"

So go talk to a lawyer about this.
I don't know why you didn't stay on top of this guy to see what his actual progress was before paying him. Because considering how important this puppet is to you, I would have been all over his ass (in a nice way, but making sure it was getting done in a way that I wanted).
He gave you a puppet for the price you agreed on and paid in exchange. Not making sure it's what you want is in large part your responsibility, and not using it is YOUR choice.
Sounds like the whole school is a fucking sales funnel to get retards to buy shitty puppets.
Small claims court
