Our kitchen renovation has ground to a halt and the contractor is ahead in terms of payments. He also tells me he has no intention of returning, because he has lost money on this job. Nonetheless, we have a contract, and he has not only failed to complete agreed upon parts of the job, but he has also botched some of the work, which needs to be done over. I need an agressive lawyer who can help me warn this guy eith a letter, and then go through the process of suing him.
\nYes, he’s licensed. The amount is probably going to be over the maximum for small claims court, although it will be under $10,000, I believe. I also want to file a complaint with the DCA and the BBB.
\nAnyone know an agressive attorney who can help, who won’t charge me an arm and a leg, who is timely with returning phone calls etc.?
\nAlso – any other advice for how to proceed? (Short of murder?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
