Q. Would you handle cases like this?

Yes. All the time.

B and C had an agreement. B breached the agreement and owes C damages. It is that simple. Furthermore, based on what transpired, A's payment of money to B may be deemed a trust fund for C. B's failure to pay C may be deemed a breach of fiduciary duty subject to additional damages.

Feel free to telephone (516) 295-9061.
