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) |

This sounds like a commercial job since your useing 2 layers of 5/8 for fire code if it is , is it YOUR job or are you the GC?
the reason i ask is this if it is your job then you should have had to sign a release from the contractor stating that he can file a workers lien on the property if not paid , california is only one of a handful of states that require this form of paperwork ( from the you to the contractor) if you did sign such a release you might be in for a fight , if you are the GC then the sub should be required to have a bond on any project that was awarded according to bid, that bonding company is in business to make sure that your project gets completed for the amount bid. either way as much as i dislike lawyers the get paid because they get results. you need results, you need a lawyer. sadly the money recovered probably wont be enough to pay for these resluts gotta love those billable hours. I ve done this for 15 years , i dont want to sound preachy but ; ALWAYS HAVE A CONTRACT THAT PROTECTS YOU . SCREW THE OTHER GUY, we always have our subs sign a contract , if they dont sign we dont need them on our site, the are a liabilty . hope every thing works out for you . |
