Need legal advice please!
I'm going to summarize the best I can, there is a lot more to the story than I'm sure any of you here would be interested in reading. But I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me!
A relative had purchased a trailer to use for his business, and was having a company design it to certain industry standards so he could use it for it's intended purpose. He received a lot of run around from the company through the long process but I'll leave out the details.
When he went to see the trailer when it was supposed to be finished, he measured it, and it wasn't to the specifications that it needed to be and were agreed upon in the contract with the business. He left his business card with receptionist as she told him the man he needed to speak to was in a meeting. My relative then went outside and before he left he saw a man leave. He assumed it was the gentleman the man he needed to speak to was in the meeting with, he went back in.
Some words were exchanged and the man began shoving my relative outside, when another worker also started pushing and shoving my relative until they had him outside and were beating on him. My relatives son got out of the vehicle and went to his father's defense. Cops were called, and my relatives were taken to jail where they were denied water, and the father was denied his prescription medicine. Photos were taken of all involved, but once the son went to court him and his father's photos had been LOST, the judge sided with the others, and he is now in jail serving a 60 day sentence. This was his first defense ever, and he was protecting his father, I'm sure it is what anyone would do in the same situation!
There is a lot more to the story, above is just a summary.
Advice Please??
