I had no reason to doubt this person, because as I stated above, caller id was from our own lawyers office ... when I explained that we did n't have that kind of money, he told me to just make the payment and that - would refund us the money because they had missed the judgment. I contacted this other attorney, a - -, he confirmed everything that our lawyers office had just told me.
