Re: website work

it really depends on how much money is at issue. If you are looking at under 3,000$ you can go to small claims court. Beyond that you need an attorney to help. Contact me at www.kliszlaw.com to discuss. Tim Klisz

Re: website work

In order to sue the Web designer in California Small Claims, where the limit is $7,500, you would have to serve him in California. Whether there would be jurisdiction in any California court would also control whether the could be sued in Superior Court. In all probability, you're stuck with suit in Michigan. From an economic point of view, unless there is a lot of money at stake, you're probably better off to just cancel the contract, write off your loss, and get on with things through a local designer, a written agreement and a definite delivery date.
