Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
I contracted someone to do a service for me. Over the span of 2 months, they have told me that they were only able to dedicate 3.5 hours of labor to my project. I paid them a deposit up front of half the amount. When I found out that my project was not being worked on, I cancelled the agreement. At this point, I have been able to retrieve all of my money except $600. Originally, I did not have a breakdown of the charges, so I asked for an itemization of what i was being charged for. In addition, the portion of the project that required these materials was left incomplete and is not professional. I requested the remainder of the materials. I was told when they turn up they'll return them. Should I pursue this in a court of law? What are my legal rights? What legal rights would they have against me in a court of law? How long does a vendor have to return money or material once the contract is cancelled?

The problem with your case is that it is probably cost prohibitive to hire an attorney. The small claims case costs $300 to file and $40 for service of process, and there is no guaranty you will win.
