What kind of lawyer do I contact for filing a lawsuit against a bank?I opened a checking account with chase over 4 months ago and at the time they said if I deposit 100 or more within 10 days and have a direct deposit hooked up to my checking that Id receive $100 dollars within 10 days of all that. Well 4 months later and still no money. I did everything that was required and... |
its a contract law issue
though you may want someone who specialises in banking and finance issues to navigate the banks legal carry on
that being said
you seem to be getting a bit excited
seriously a lawyer is going to cost you more than whatever gain you might achieve
just as likely the issue will never go to court so your chances of being awarded costs are nil .. even in court you may find that you arent awarded costs
anyway
could I suggest you write a letter setting out you concerns and work from there
A civil litigation attorney. However, for $100, you would be filing in Small Claims Court. In many of those courts, you must represent yourself because lawyers are not allowed to. Even if, in your jurisdiction and in the Small Claims Court where you file, lawyers are allowed to represent you, it would not be worth your while. At $350 per hour, it would cost you considerably more than the $100 you would be claiming.
So, if you must, go and file the claim yourself. Your filing fee in Arizona would be $30 and service would cost you $15. However, in most parts of the country, those figures would be considerably more.
You do realize a lawyer would cost you several hundred dollars, right????
