That Plaintiff isn't a nice person. She uses her children to bully & intimidate, when hers doesn't work. I'm glad the Defendant was able to distinguish the 2 different parties. The Plaintiff lost the rest of her credibility after that.
Excellent Business Legal Advice for new/small homebased business owners: have contract, flat fee based on service, detailed invoices, don’t RUSH to respond to emails/texts, don’t breach your own contract and have emergency proposals in place and in writing, do not discuss your clients matters with anyone other than your client 👩🏿⚖️

And sh might lie to you & deny your refund after stating that one was granted. She got caught in at least 3 lies. Don’t be fooled by the tears & volume
Yeah, I can be a bit pissy when I’m not feeling well. I entertain NOTHING when I’m sick.

Awwe dont cry sweetheart you did your best to accommodate plaintiff. ❤You"re a Good Person, i can tell. You ment no harm to anyone. Very Professional and Compassionate Young Lady👍.The Judge should have ruled in your favor
She was shading the fact that the defendant married 18 months after losing her husband to COVID. It’s rare for a widowed woman to remarry so quickly. They’ve had beef for a while & words were exchanged on both sides.
What-EVER. contracts and agreements do not encompass emotions and her husband has nothing to do with the party , the contract or her getting covid. She was absolutely using this bit about her husband to highjack sympathy. It was a diatribe.
I must say JM was very ginger in her tone and her advice to defendant not once did she yell or nterrupt or demean the defendant im am THROUGHLY IMPRESSED with the handling & communication in this case. 🙌

They definitely seemed entitled. From the daughter thinking no one can upset her mother and thinking she’s going to have a sit down/ talk or whatever before they proceed with the party 💀 and the mother thinks she’s entitled to a free party, please. Their entitlement is actually hilarious.

Until she cancels 3 days before the do and won't give you the details of who she had contracts with in good time, then keeps your money. Yup up until then she was very professional. Both sides wanted to get some more money out of this lawsuit.
Her arrogance and bad attitude. She's articulate and well put together, but her attitude and aggressive body language throughout the case was unnecessary.
WHY would you want someone with covid touching your party surfaces and have dealing with the food you and your guests will touch? Mind you, it's a 70s party with people who are older and possibly immuno compromised.
How the defendant went about things was just messy and all over the place. I understand the defendant went through something serious, but it was very unprofessional to block a client and not give their money back. If they are annoying you so much, either do what you were contracted to do or give the money back. That's the only reason you are here.
@@Daydream355 I am no one's anything but your comments seem unreasonable. Nobody has to take abuse and it has nothing to do with professionalism. In fact the more professional a person is the less likely they are to deal with abuse.
@@Sachi52 You seem to think being professional is getting the last word. This has nothing to do with “taking abuse.” Stop being dramatic. If you don’t want to work with them, fine. Then give the money back. A client shouldn’t have to take you to court to get money back that you owe, period.
The downside of having a business 😖 Ill forfeit a client to avoid all this mess. I’ll send back whatever I got to plan the party, wish them well and avoid a headache
Oh man I feel bad for the defendant that daughter was a rude bully I wish this would’ve gone better for her especially seeing how the plaintiff was trying her best to get more and more money out of her
I wish that the defendant counter claimed the daughter. It was wise not to bring her because obviously she's a hot head. The fact that the plaintiff admitted to basically tuning her daughter out proves that she was a wild card. The defendant received great advice from JM. I hope that she's still in business. I would hire her if she was in my area.
I really like the defendant. She's a calm, professional lady and I hope her business thrives. The plaintiff seemed shady, beautiful but shady. She was trying to get a refund then have the defendant pay for her party....shady af.
Yes they presented themselves well and didn't get personal after the judge mentioned she was a bit rude about the defendants dead husband. It seems to me the daughter's attitude is the problem, now I could understand a bit better if she was paying for the party for her Mum but she wasn't it had nothing to do with her. So going in and threatening people is not the way to handle things.
I like the professionalism of Miss Woods and I can understand her hurt and frustration from the daughter of the client being a a bully and disrespectful. I know Miss Woods has learnt on what to do in any hostile situation. She look the type who’s good at her job
That’s crazy that rude behavior doesn’t allow a contract to be voided. I think there’s some situations where it absolutely can be. Some people are unbearable and I’m a service provider
I wanna go on record saying this judge is one of my top favs... She doesn't go by assumptions alone but by professional and personal experience; To top it all she's fair.
As my mother used to always say, in all things get an understanding. If the defendant didn't know what the plaintiff wanted she should have asked her. 😢
yall so gullible in these comments. yall think bc this lady is being calm and professional in court that she’s a great business woman, WRONG. I’m a professional caterer and this lady is nice nasty and has bad work ethics. she lied about being in the hospital. she never even contacted the DJ. she never paid for the cake. something else happened that she’s not saying. she either spent their money already or had other plans for that day. this lady need to really evaluate how she handled this whole event and change her business practices.
The defendant texted that she was AT the hospital, she didn’t write that she was admitted to the hospital. She was at the hospital getting tested and getting a breathing treatment.
@@themermaidstale5008 exactly. But when the judge asked her if she was at the hospital she said no she was planning on going to the hospital. It wasn’t until the judge read the text message to her that she clarified.
@@mtblahowell no, the judge said you were in the hospital; she said no. She was ‘at’ but not ‘in’ 😂 I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt…🤷🏽♀️
The text proves that the defendant cancelled the plaintiff’s party for 10/01 (to be held on another date in the future), so JM’s ruling was the right outcome. It was so nice of her to give the defendant so much good advice as to how to manage her event planning business going forward and limit her liability exposure.
The defendant was very respectful and kind, I feel bad for everything she went through with having covid, losing her husband, and the plaintiff's daughter talking to her harshly.
The plaintiff is childish, uncaring and unfeeling towards the defendant’s illness and the loss of her husband. Sorry but the loss of her husband is so, so much more of a big deal than a birthday party. Giving grandma what she wants which is a FREE birthday party speaks volumes about the character of the birthday woman.
Never understood how people can drop thousands on a birthday party. Maybe a couple hundred for nice decor, gift, and a cake. But a venue??? It's a Birthday, not a wedding!
@@bobbarker9556 Right? Moderately wealthy people pinch pennies. Poor people want to imitate the Lavishly Rich and Famous. Designer clothing and handbags, cars that cost more than homes, bling bling jewelry, its very sad. Then they try and lowball for catering or something and wind up in court arguing their $450 spent on catering didn't come with enough chicken cordon bleu and champagne.
She lies about telling her she was in the hospital then turns around and remembers “being ing the hospital “. She couldn’t answer initially honestly about the DJ then admits the truth.. Blocks her on FB. The defendant did bad business. I don’t believe she was sick nor had she ever been in the hospital
Mama and her family seems to be like we high ranks around here if you all that call the big time venders to coordinate your party moms but you look .s great but y'all attitude is reckless I believe they push the defendent to the end talking about her child , honey the party is over bringing up people kids good by. Block .ijs. Defendent held her own most people would have did the same or worse talking about children .ok
I am betting the daughter spun her mother up saying she is owed 2k instead of the 1400 and something...That or the old lady is a scammer also...The plaintiff should have just shut down communication with the daughter and left it at I will deal with your mother and if that will not work then I will take that as a cancellation...And said if any drama or hostilities to any of the workers on the say of the party we will pull out and you will be responsible for the total bill...
The same goes for beauty pageants.Many mothers are caught up also in that world.They live the life they wanted through their daughters..so there you go.
Loved loved the the defendant . She seemed genuine but the drama the daughter was bringing she was Not willing to put up with it ; and Indo t blame her one bit.

That was a really nasty comment. She looks old and crabby !!!
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Judge Milian is Top Notch! She hardly ever disappoints.. She is versatile with her vocabulary, witty, and no-nonsense… I love People’s Court! ❤❤❤
WHY would you want someone with covid touching your party surfaces and have dealing with the food you and your guests will touch? Mind you, it's a 70s party with people who are older and possibly immuno compromised.
How the defendant went about things was just messy and all over the place. I understand the defendant went through something serious, but it was very unprofessional to block a client and not give their money back. If they are annoying you so much, either do what you were contracted to do or give the money back. That's the only reason you are here.
Must be a friend of the the plaintiff!!
@@GrampiesCorner you must be the defendants boyfriend 😂 *sugar grampa
I would have BLOCKED them as well they were NASTY AND RUDE and essentially tried to get over
@@Daydream355 I am no one's anything but your comments seem unreasonable. Nobody has to take abuse and it has nothing to do with professionalism. In fact the more professional a person is the less likely they are to deal with abuse.
@@Sachi52 You seem to think being professional is getting the last word. This has nothing to do with “taking abuse.” Stop being dramatic. If you don’t want to work with them, fine. Then give the money back. A client shouldn’t have to take you to court to get money back that you owe, period.
If anyone knows the defendant please let her plan your events .
The defendant’s spirit warms my heart.
The downside of having a business 😖 Ill forfeit a client to avoid all this mess. I’ll send back whatever I got to plan the party, wish them well and avoid a headache
She should have gave them the money back
the dj didnt say it was canceled because of weather the dj said he severed ties with you because he had beef with your husband
Why did they use this struggle event planner if they got lawyers all up in their family? They have money, so use it wisely.
😂😂😂
Oh man I feel bad for the defendant that daughter was a rude bully I wish this would’ve gone better for her especially seeing how the plaintiff was trying her best to get more and more money out of her
Exactly- 70 yr older lil shady don't let her good looks fool you
"Trunk Party" is a gift-grab where "guests" are expected to bring things the "honoree" wants for college.
Thank you for explaining what that meant. I didn't know..
Thank you! I’ve never heard of it!
GREEDY PARTY BASICALLY
Is that not the same motive behind a baby shower?
Birthdays 🎉
Weddings 💒
Baby shower 🚿
House warming
Brisal showers
Christmas parties
ALL GREEDY GIFT GRABS
I wish that the defendant counter claimed the daughter. It was wise not to bring her because obviously she's a hot head. The fact that the plaintiff admitted to basically tuning her daughter out proves that she was a wild card. The defendant received great advice from JM. I hope that she's still in business. I would hire her if she was in my area.
Dinner crew check in!!!!
Here
About to start making me something to eat right now!
Steak and sautéed spinach and People’s Court for supper 🥳
Here! Baked chicken wings, potatoes, sautéed squash and zucchini 😊
Here!!!! Tacos tonight 😋
Yes Judge Milian, we know you’re from Florida 🤦🏽♀️
The number of people across this great nation that say “coVIC” instead of “covid” in 2024 is RIDICULOUS
Another 39 minute episode... I'm here for the tea ☕ 🤸🏿🤸🏿
Too many people wanna have their own business but have no clue how to run a business.
I agree with you
I really like the defendant. She's a calm, professional lady and I hope her business thrives. The plaintiff seemed shady, beautiful but shady. She was trying to get a refund then have the defendant pay for her party....shady af.
Both the plaintiff and the defendant were calm, intelligent and thoughtful despite the emotionality of the case - well done, ladies.
Yes they presented themselves well and didn't get personal after the judge mentioned she was a bit rude about the defendants dead husband. It seems to me the daughter's attitude is the problem, now I could understand a bit better if she was paying for the party for her Mum but she wasn't it had nothing to do with her. So going in and threatening people is not the way to handle things.
I like the professionalism of Miss Woods and I can understand her hurt and frustration from the daughter of the client being a a bully and disrespectful.
I know Miss Woods has learnt on what to do in any hostile situation.
She look the type who’s good at her job
That’s crazy that rude behavior doesn’t allow a contract to be voided. I think there’s some situations where it absolutely can be. Some people are unbearable and I’m a service provider
“Hence, new husband”… My goodness lol 😭
The shade, the shade!! 🤣🤣
Granny was slick hustling❤
She had to move on????smhthe plantiff's daughter is a troublemaker...
I wanna go on record saying this judge is one of my top favs... She doesn't go by assumptions alone but by professional and personal experience; To top it all she's fair.
As my mother used to always say, in all things get an understanding. If the defendant didn't know what the plaintiff wanted she should have asked her. 😢
yall so gullible in these comments. yall think bc this lady is being calm and professional in court that she’s a great business woman, WRONG. I’m a professional caterer and this lady is nice nasty and has bad work ethics. she lied about being in the hospital. she never even contacted the DJ. she never paid for the cake. something else happened that she’s not saying. she either spent their money already or had other plans for that day. this lady need to really evaluate how she handled this whole event and change her business practices.
She's a party planner, not a caterer.
Agreed lol the comments are interesting.
The defendant texted that she was AT the hospital, she didn’t write that she was admitted to the hospital. She was at the hospital getting tested and getting a breathing treatment.
@@themermaidstale5008 exactly. But when the judge asked her if she was at the hospital she said no she was planning on going to the hospital. It wasn’t until the judge read the text message to her that she clarified.
@@mtblahowell no, the judge said you were in the hospital; she said no. She was ‘at’ but not ‘in’ 😂 I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt…🤷🏽♀️
Cool, so I'm allowed to threaten workers and then demand them to the work. Or I can sue. Thanks
The plaintiff facial expression 😂😂😂😂
The text proves that the defendant cancelled the plaintiff’s party for 10/01 (to be held on another date in the future), so JM’s ruling was the right outcome. It was so nice of her to give the defendant so much good advice as to how to manage her event planning business going forward and limit her liability exposure.
The defendant was very respectful and kind, I feel bad for everything she went through with having covid, losing her husband, and the plaintiff's daughter talking to her harshly.
The plaintiff had some gall trying to get a free party 😂
Why did she cancel the cake, she knew the lady still wanted the party,just seems spiteful towards the 70 year old.
The plaintiff is childish, uncaring and unfeeling towards the defendant’s illness and the loss of her husband. Sorry but the loss of her husband is so, so much more of a big deal than a birthday party. Giving grandma what she wants which is a FREE birthday party speaks volumes about the character of the birthday woman.
Trying to have a party in the middle of pandemic and after you get a hurricane warning is selfish
It was 14 months earlier I thought. Still bad! But it’s not recent as far as what I heard.
Exactly, self-centered attention c. o. w lol
Never understood how people can drop thousands on a birthday party. Maybe a couple hundred for nice decor, gift, and a cake. But a venue??? It's a Birthday, not a wedding!
I wouldn't either, but a 70th birthday is a huge milestone.
That’s how broke people stay broke
@@bobbarker9556 Right? Moderately wealthy people pinch pennies. Poor people want to imitate the Lavishly Rich and Famous. Designer clothing and handbags, cars that cost more than homes, bling bling jewelry, its very sad. Then they try and lowball for catering or something and wind up in court arguing their $450 spent on catering didn't come with enough chicken cordon bleu and champagne.
Because they can do what they want
Because they want the attention
At the end, she said the figures that were fair not what she’s actually owed back and can prove. She got greedy that’s all.
She lies about telling her she was in the hospital then turns around and remembers “being ing the hospital “. She couldn’t answer initially honestly about the DJ then admits the truth.. Blocks her on FB. The defendant did bad business. I don’t believe she was sick nor had she ever been in the hospital
Both the plaintiff and the defendant seem like nice ladies.
I LOVE HER TV SHOWS, FOR ME IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE ABOUT COURT LAWS.
18 and trunk 😂 wtf is that
@thtsnotmiaok so call it a going away to college party!!!!
Beautiful couple Judge & her husband
Mama and her family seems to be like we high ranks around here if you all that call the big time venders to coordinate your party moms but you look .s great but y'all attitude is reckless I believe they push the defendent to the end talking about her child , honey the party is over bringing up people kids good by. Block .ijs. Defendent held her own most people would have did the same or worse talking about children .ok
That defendant is going to go a long way with her business.
The defendant definitely owed the plaintiff
Love these long non edited videos.
I am betting the daughter spun her mother up saying she is owed 2k instead of the 1400 and something...That or the old lady is a scammer also...The plaintiff should have just shut down communication with the daughter and left it at I will deal with your mother and if that will not work then I will take that as a cancellation...And said if any drama or hostilities to any of the workers on the say of the party we will pull out and you will be responsible for the total bill...
Is the plaintiff sure it was her 70th birthday party she was planning? She looks to be about 50 to me - and no wrinkles! Amazing!
Oh please..
@@JeanneKropf Is there a problem?
oh please she looks very much her age.
@@pink4078 "Oh please".....jealous much???😂😂😂 She looks GREAT for her age!
@@dtshopper819 oh please. Why the fark would i be jealous of a 70-year-old grandma LOL
I feel for the defendant she seems to be very soft spoken and these people were difficult.
adults who obsess about birthday parties are just odd. so childish
The same goes for beauty pageants.Many mothers are caught up also in that world.They live the life they wanted through their daughters..so there you go.
Make sure you feel that way IF you get to live to be 70 🙄🙄
Narcissistic people obsess over birthdays. Plaintiff is clearly a narcissist.
Why does it bother you? Birthdays are special to some people and there is nothing wrong with that
She is very professional. I like the defendant, she didn't throw a tantrum, she was very calm.
Loved loved the the defendant . She seemed genuine but the drama the daughter was bringing she was Not willing to put up with it ; and Indo t blame her one bit.
As an event planner myself and as former resident of Jacksonville, Fl Inwill say this there weee some of the worst clients I’ve had to deal with.
I wish her much success in her business and hope she made not of the judges advice l.
Loved this episode
Pay that lady her money and stop trying to get over on people. Shame on you. Liar and thief
That lady trying get more then what she was Owe and that unfair and wrong! Greed is never a good look even if you 70 looking like your 50! That woman got what she was owe back no more no less... The Judge was Fair here!
@@Raven-ft6et Both are greedy. No doubt about that. Hence the judge explained that going to court isn't a 'grab as much money as you can' but getting back what you paid out.
3:52 is at the point where she says I had to move on! I missed that part at first until all of the comments were referring back to it
