I live in ohio and I knocked on a door to ask about some downed trees for firewood. The owners eventually contacted me on the phone and said you want it come get it please but we can't pay you. I wasn't asking for payment. Just the wood. Turns out they had a contract with unknown tree people. They came one day worked. Came next day at 6pm not much done there Friday and havent showed since..for 1 and 1/4 day there hasnt been much work done trees easy to fall down trees they really needed trimmed or removed were left as is....horribly they arent returning customers calls...even worse u guessed it already been paid in full...smh....went down the street and did another job!!..they have felled 4 to 6 trees out of I think 9 they needed and looks like they didnt remove anything more then the saw chips on their clothes..id love all this wood 5 minutes from my house lol but i dont want to get into any legal troubles. My question is in ohio what makes a contract legally binding? What justifies the tree company being in breech of the contract. The lady says her and her husband had a business and dont think it justifies an actual contract and they are in breech of it anyways. But they have a nice place and want it cleaned up lol...Im going to look at the "contract" tomorrow but id like some input from some professional professionals that have experience and understand contractual agreements any info is great thanks guys
