I am a contractor who did construction work on a house (siding and small construction). The owner has made a payment for the estimate I had given but refuses to pay an additional amount that I incurred during the job. I have already cashed the payment. The owner's letter states that this is payment in full and no further work by my company was wanted. Do I have a case for breach of contract, or have I inadvertently accepted a compromise and release by cashing the check?

I have a question about staying execution of judgment pending appeal. My motion to stay enforcement of judgment at the trial court was denied. After that, I appealed my case, and the appeal is pending. What should I do for the stay of judgment? I don't have money to buy the bonds.

We had a person renting our garage, but he never provided contact info. Now he's stopped paying, and we're stuck with his car in our garage. We want it removed. The police can't legally look up his license, and a private detective found his license expired. We tried contacting the State of Illinois, but they sent us back to the local police. How can we legally get the person to remove his car from our garage?
