Is This BLACKMAIL?
I have a specific question if the following email is considered blackmail. I did not intend for it to be, but want to know an opinion from the legal perspective.
"Well it is unfortunate that you will not even give me the time or opportunity to discuss this personally with you rather than email only. I guess the internet will have to hear about this bad experience. I did not want to do that because I was hopeful that you would consider at least a partial refund. My trip insurance does not cover hotel loss, so I am out a full $1157.00. I am simply amazed that the airline has refunded tickets in full for 3 people ($2508.00), but you will not consider even a partial refund."
This was the recipient's response:
"What you are doing is called black mail. You are demanding money and threatening bad publicity if you are not paid. This is a warning that if you go ahead with your threat, we WILL take you to court."
Your interpretation is greatly appreciated.
Looking for a new DUI attorney
I have paid $3000 for an attorney's services and I am not happy with his performance. I have left 3 messages for him to call me because I have some questions and he has not returned my calls. Would I be able to ''fire'' him and receive any money back so I can find a new attorney who is willing to return my calls and answer my questions?
