Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey

Re: Collecting on debt

I am stumped.

You lent your boyfriend $22k without seeking the advice of a lawyer and now you can't afford a lawyer to help you get $22,000 back.

Perhaps you will be able to find a lawyer who will only want a percentage of what they recover for you.

Good luck to you.

Re: Collecting on debt

I have read what the other attorney wrote. A little harsh perhaps, but that attorney is right.

You will need to sue this ex-BF. It is a great deal more likely that you will succeed if you hire an attorney.

I suggest that you try to find a lawyer to take this on a contingent fee, taking a part of what you get from the ex-BF. That is Not likely. The ex-BF has no job, sounds completely broke and worthless.

The only other suggestion is to save your money, and then hire an attorney. $22,000.00 is far too much money to just let it go.

This is an expensive and painful mistake by you. I am sorry that you trusted this man far too much. I see a good number of cases like this, in which a person will trust a boyfriend/girlfriend, relative or friend, and lose a great deal of money. A lawyer's advice ahead of time is a great way to avoid this kind of mess.

You have my best wishes.
