In fact, I would say that legitimate businessmen with legitimate claims hire attorneys specifically to resolve those claims far more often than they enlist the help of their friends to rampage on the Internet. That tactic has not worked in this case and will not work in this case EVER. So, keep it up and you'll get more of the status quo, which is the definition of insanity, or take my advice and maybe things will change for the better.

Chuck and his lawyer are free to call me anytime.

another steaming pile, Ive been in my own business for 20 years. Ive never had to use an attorney to conduct normal business transactions, because I give my customers what they pay for, if I cant I don't accept their money. The ONLY time I have ever had to use an attorney is when a competitor filed a frivolous suit, which I came out of very well. Plenty of crooks get away with crimes for quite some time, Madoff did, Capone did, Pantera did, Hionas did numerous times. Honest businessmen don't need them.

You need the attorney to go after the people that owe you money, I do it all the time for small contractors, Criminal Defense and Small Business collections for contractors (painters, masons, builders, home remodelers) that get screwed over....that's when you should call me

Chuck, you or your attorney should give Mike a call... Go in with an open mind and let's see what happens. Let's see if these guys can make this right or if this is just more Internet damage control BS. :cool:

Gino,

By all means, do your homework. You can start by calling me as I represent Sonic and Tony, who has turned his entire operation into a solid business.

Chuck,

You can call me too. Better yet, have your attorney call me and we can discuss the entire situation, facts and all. I think those conversations may produce better results than ranting on OSO.

Thanks.
