HELP GETS PAID

In Campos v. Ofman, Mendel Ofman allegedly agreed to pay $7,000 for each apartment Martin Campos renovated. When he went unpaid after finishing nine units, Campos filed suit with the Kings County Supreme Court.

Ofman claimed that Campos had been hired as a helper to assist with the renovations, and was fully compensated for those services. After a jury found in Campos’ favor, the parties stipulated to damages in the amount of $51,000.

On appeal, the Appellate Division, Second Department, determined that the jury's verdict was supported by a fair interpretation of the evidence. It further concluded Ofman wasn’t entitled to challenge the amount awarded since he agreed, in writing, to that sum.

You certainly have our word on that.
