Valuable Lesson Of The Day
Get written contracts... never verbal.
Although verbal contracts are supposed to be legally binding...
And you have, as evidence, a recorded voicemail in which the defendant admits three times in it that he "knows he committed to you, but now has a tight budget and can't turn a blind eye to an unforeseen better deal ."
And a written transcript of the voicemail.
Apparently, when you have court at 9:00 PM with a harried female judge who receives not one, but two calls in the courtroom from her home during the trial... "I know...I'm hurrying. I'll be home soon. I'm on a drywall case." Obviously not giving full attention to the message and only glancing at the transcript, well, verbal contracts just aren't what they're cracked up to be.

In other words the mans word is worthless and the Judge must not have heard of the phrase " Word of Honor "
