  • 'Dissing a Sister' & 'Making a Tenant Doggone Mad' & 'Shock and Awning'

    'Dissing a Sister' & 'Making a Tenant Doggone Mad' & 'Shock and Awning'
    Feb 4 2026
    First, the plaintiff says the defendant, her sister, owes her money for several loans she made. She is suing for the amount owed. The defendant says she doesn’t owe her sister anything and claims the plaintiff is only upset because she’s gotten closer to another sister. Then, the plaintiff says he planned to rent a room in the defendant’s home but never moved in and now can’t get his deposit back. He is suing for the return of his deposit. The defendant says the plaintiff agreed to rent a room and pay an extra $100 a month because he had a large dog. A few days later, the plaintiff told him he was looking at other places because the price was too high. The defendant argues that deposits are nonrefundable, and that’s the end of it. Plus, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant to install an awning on her deck and that he guaranteed both the workmanship and the fabric for 10 years. One year later, she says, the awning collapsed, and when she called him to fix it under warranty, he refused. She is suing for a refund. The defendant says he custom builds every awning and stands by his work. He claims he warned the plaintiff not to leave the awning up all winter, but she ignored him. After a two-foot snowstorm, it gave way and collapsed. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • 'Not Seeing It Through' & 'Impound Dog' & 'Flaking on a Painter'

    'Not Seeing It Through' & 'Impound Dog' & 'Flaking on a Painter'
    Feb 3 2026
    First, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant, an attorney, to resolve an issue with his co-op board, but the defendant quit before finishing the job. He is suing for the return of the fees he paid. The defendant says the plaintiff was being fined $27,000 for illegal construction in his apartment and that he was hired to negotiate on his behalf. He claims he reached a settlement for $5,000, but the plaintiff refused to accept it, leaving nothing more he could do to resolve the case. Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, the mother of his children, owes him for a car she bought from him. He is suing for the cost of the car and for pain and suffering. The defendant says the plaintiff was caught racing the car with stolen license plates, had no driver’s license or insurance, and was arrested. She says that after he was released, he told her she could have the car if she paid the penalties, which she did. The defendant claims they had a deal, but the plaintiff is now changing his story because she’s pursuing him for child support. Plus, the plaintiff says he was hired to paint the interior of the defendant’s home and that she was pleased with his work. He claims she later asked him to do additional painting but never paid him for it. He is suing for the amount owed. The defendant says she hired a contractor who subcontracted the plaintiff to paint her house and insists she has no knowledge of the agreement between them.

  • 'Cousin Complaint' & 'You Making a Pass at Me?' & 'Where’s the Fire?'

    'Cousin Complaint' & 'You Making a Pass at Me?' & 'Where’s the Fire?'
    Feb 2 2026
    First, the plaintiff says she and the defendant are technically cousins but were raised like brother and sister. In 2010, the defendant was arrested and jailed, and he asked her for money because his wife had left him and his children refused to speak to him. Feeling sorry for him, she gave him money to hire a lawyer. The defendant has repeatedly promised to repay her but never has, so she is suing for the money owed. The defendant says he told the plaintiff he wouldn’t be able to repay her because he was paying child support. He claims she told him not to worry about the money but became angry when he was released from jail and started spending time with his new girlfriend. Then, the plaintiff says she was driving on a one-lane road when the impatient defendant tried to pass her on the right and hit her car. She claims he then offered her $100 to keep her from calling the police, but her friend called anyway. She is suing for the cost of the damages. The defendant says the plaintiff was the one who hit him as he waited to make a right turn in the designated lane. He claims she’s a scammer or just after money. Plus, the plaintiff says she rented an apartment from the defendant, and after a fire broke out in a neighboring unit, her apartment was destroyed. She says she was forced to live in a hotel before finding a new place to move into and expected the defendant to return her security deposit, but he hasn’t. She is suing for the deposit and rent. The defendant says the fire also damaged his property, and the city shut it down until repairs could be made. He claims the plaintiff told him she planned to move back in but then changed her mind.
