What is my legal recourse if an irreplaceable ordered item is lost in the mail?
My wedding photographer is going out of business and offered to sell me the negatives of my wedding photos. I sent her the money and the check was cashed. However, the negatives have never arrived. She claims she sent them, but did so without any sort of tracking capability. So, what are my options for getting my money back?

See if you can still place a stop payment order on the check. You will need to get to the bank as soon as possible, or you may be able to do this on line.
Otherwise, you will have to sue her to get your money back. A local attorney can help you with this, and you can find a qualified lawyer at our website, http://attorneypages.com
