hey guys,
Construction troubles. Need a lawyer to consult with about sub-contractor gone wrong. I have a solid case and am trying to settle up the small amount of money involved. . . (under $4000) but would like to consult with someone to make sure I'm on the right track and that I indeed have a claim, and indeed he violated 2 sections of California Business and Professions Code. Please let me know if you are a lawyer and do this kind of little stuff. . . or if you have any good leads to someone I can talk to about it. This isn't a project buster, as I've already lined up my own crew to finish the job at a considerable savings, but it's set me back time-wise and is agrivating (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Yack.gif) thanks, 'Chung (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |

Chungman...
Its been awhile since I have dealt with this but I seem to recall that there is a California Contractors State License Law limit of 10% of the job or $1000, whichever is LESS that he can receive as a good faith deposit. The fact the he requested and received more than the $1000 says alot about your claim. Considering the relatively small money, I would first atttempt to go to the CSLB and avoid the lawyers for the moment, but be careful to preserve all your legal rights should you need the big guns later. There is always small claims court which generally sides with the consumer. Some things they dont teach in architecture school eh? |
