      Strength of signed contract

      Strength of signed contract

      Contract obligations It's businessWOMAN and, it is more than a $500 job. Tree work is very seasonal and breach of contract is something I take very seriously. That job and the neighborhood it is in could potentially lead to several others. Tree work is not as deffinitive as, say, carpet...

      Medical Dis-Service

      Thanks, All I appreciate all of your responses. I can't believe however, that just because "that's the way things are", this should be an acceptible way to treat anyone...especially an elderly patient.
