we recently needed a room painted at our house. My wife and I are very old and she needs my attention so we needed to hire someone. We searched on google and found the top rated painter in our area and gave them a call. They came out and after we signed an agreement and gave them a check for 50% down they said they would start in a week. Well that was now over a month ago and they will not show up or return our calls now. I went back and after reading their google again it looks like a lot of their reviews are all fake from overseas writers. What should we do? We don’t have the money to lose like this or know any lawyers. Thank you so much for any advice
