I was unable to show the court certain documents in the trial de novo that clearly showed the amounts I was in court for and was never asked how much money I was there to recover. The opposing attorney objected to all of my evidence that hand writing on them. All I was able to present were some photos of before and after the contractor work but not my documents that show how much it cost me to correct the defendant’s incomplete work, so those costs were never seen by the judge. He then ruled in favor of the defense in the end because I was unable to show a decreased value of my property although he did say there were clearly damages and the defendant did admit to never returning to finish the job. Anything I can do as far as appeals or entering the costs associated with the repairs I had to make? All the judge needed to see in the end were those documents I had right there all along.
