I was on the show today and highly advise others to take your chances in regular court. The producer reached out to me and somewhat scared me stating "most of the time people don't get the money awarded or takes years" therefore, I decided to go on the show. One of my main concerns was they wouldn't award a fair amount because People Court was paying the money and now I certainly believe it to be true. She is a judge of NY and it was clear she didn't agree with CA laws of sentimental value. My claim was for $10,000 which I was not expecting however, they should have been liable to for breach of contract which was not acknowledged. I sued a Mortuary for cremating my fathers belongings when they were supposed to returned them. She award $1000 which I feel is an insult to something that was taken from me. I pray this never happens again in court or in a mortuary.
