'Not So "Golden State"' & 'Out After 8 Years' & 'Botched Roof'
First, the plaintiff and defendant were Army buddies who decided to go on a trip to California together. The plaintiff paid for a portion of the defendant’s travel and lodging fees, but has yet to be repaid, so he’s suing. The defendant claims the plaintiff was desperate to go with a friend and had agreed to pay for the whole trip since the defendant couldn’t afford it.
Then, the plaintiff says her landlord, the defendant, always seemed to be a nice guy, until he kicked her out of the apartment she’d lived in for eight years. She is suing for the security deposit he refuses to return. The defendant says the plaintiff has yet to return her keys or pick up some property she left behind, so he has every right to hold on to her deposit.
Plus, the plaintiff hired her co-worker to redo the roofing on her house and paid him in full for the job. Three months later, it started leaking, and he refused to come fix it. The plaintiff learned it was a terrible roofing job and is suing to get the money she needs to fix the issues. The defendant says the damages were caused by a fallen tree branch… five years ago. He is countersuing for the money he’s still owed on the original roofing job.

'Landscaping Conflict' & 'Order of Protection' & 'Surprise Invoice'
First, the plaintiff is in a neighborly feud with the defendant, who ripped out some of her landscaping in response to the plaintiff accidentally pulling up some of her plants. The plaintiff had to hire people to repair damages and is suing for the cost of those repairs. The defendant says it was an eye for an eye and owes nothing.
Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, his ex-girlfriend, falsely accused him of violating an order of protection, which brought criminal charges against him and cost him his job. Charges were eventually dropped, but the damage was done, so he’s suing for lost wages. The defendant claims he did break the order of protection and doesn’t owe him for his lost wages.
Plus, the plaintiff was hired by the defendant to advise on the sale of his business, as well as other matters. The plaintiff sent an invoice to the defendant, which has been ignored and gone unpaid, so he’s suing. The defendant says he simply asked the guy about selling one of his pawnshops, and the plaintiff ended up launching into a whole lecture about it. He never agreed to pay the guy anything and was surprised to get the invoice.

'Can't Hang For Long' & 'A Stressed Cat' & 'You Give Me No Credit'
First, the plaintiff asked the defendant to mount her flat-screen TV for her, and two days later she discovered it had fallen to the ground and shattered. He refuses to pay her for any damages, so she’s suing him. The defendant claims he installed the TV the same way he installed every other device and has never had this happen before.
Then, the plaintiffs agreed to sublet from the defendant for a month and look after his cat too. The cat ended up getting stressed and urinated all over the unit, causing the defendant to withhold the plaintiff’s deposit. They want it back, so they’re suing. The defendant claims the unit hadn’t been cleaned at all while she was gone, which is why she’s keeping the deposit.
Plus, the plaintiff agreed to buy a car from the defendant, who he claims changed the deal behind his back, adding $2,500 to the cost of the car. The plaintiff says their website boasts no gimmicks or anything, so he’s suing for the money he’s now out. The defendant says the plaintiff has bad credit, so they got him a loan which came with high interest rates and fees. The plaintiff only came back to complain months later, but it’s not the defendant’s fault.

'Get It Out of Your System Before We Continue' & 'Is He a Failed Private Eye?' & 'I Can’t Make You Stop It'
First, the plaintiff says she rented a car for the defendant in a time of need, and that there’s a rental charge still left unpaid. She is suing to get that money back so she can go on her way. The defendant says it was the plaintiff who caused damages to the vehicle, not her, so she owes nothing.
Then, the plaintiff says he was hired by the defendant as a private eye to check in on his son-in-law, who was cheating and stole the defendant’s business from him. However, the defendant still owes the plaintiff for his work, and he’s suing to get his paycheck. The defendant says the plaintiff didn’t produce any information useful for a case against the son-in-law, but he paid the guy anyway. He’s countersuing to get his money back.
Plus, the plaintiff is a mother of 10 who’s at her wits’ end with her third child, the defendant. She loaned him money for gas, and he has yet to repay her, so she’s suing. The defendant claims it’s his mother’s duty to give him money for the things he needs to live and has no reason to sue him.

'Annoying an Aunt' & 'Paying Poorly for a Pool' & 'Letting a Lady Down'
First, the plaintiff says the defendant, her niece, asked her for money to buy a car. The plaintiff helped her niece, but she hasn’t yet paid her back, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant claims the plaintiff gave her the money as a gift.
Then, the plaintiff has been in the landscaping business for 25 years. The plaintiff prepared the defendant’s yard for a pool but hasn’t yet been paid, so he’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff didn’t properly level the land, so he denies owing the plaintiff a cent.
Plus, the plaintiff moved into a home the defendants were renting, but it was in deplorable condition. The defendants refuse to return the plaintiff’s security, so she’s suing. The defendants argue the plaintiff was an awful tenant, and she should be lucky they returned any of her security. The defendants are countersuing for damages, unpaid rent, and security returned.
