I'm an owner of a rented condo. There was a water damage caused by the negligent of another unit. A contractor came over to help mitigate the water damage and entered my unit. He ask me to give him an authorization after he had already started dryers in my unit. I asked him who is paying, he stated it's going to be my Condo association. I said okay because that's the usual norm. However, I didn't sign any contract with him, he refused to provide my condo association an invoice. Police officers were called to remove him because the association think he's a fraudulent person for ordering the asso manager to sign a document to authorize work to which she doesn't have authority. Now he's bragging that he'll placed all the three condos involved on mechanic lien. The worse thing is that he forged a signature that his not mine a contract, and created an invoice for $3850 for a job he didn't perform. What are my options?...Read More
I signed a contract to install a type of skylight (solar) with a contractor. On the day of installation, I was told that the intended skylight would not fit and they then switched to the skylight (fixed) that they had available in the warehouse. The contractor did not rewrite the contract or confirmed the price of new installation with me during installation. I asked for new quote but I was told they will work it out later. I was provided a final bill a week later for the lower grade skylight with a huge price tag. The price was way above the market price I gathered from various sources. I refused to pay the amount billed. I lodged a formal dispute wit them but no responses. Few weeks later I was sent an Intent to file a Lien letter. Do I have a good legal ground to take them to court?...Read More

We are a business located in Florida that supplied material to a builder for a multifamily residential construction job in New York, NY and they have not paid the remaining balance due. We started the process of filing a lien through Levelset.com however we were informed since we do not have a physical address for our business in NY we would need an address of an attorney in NY in order to proceed with a lien. Could we use your firm and if so what would be the cost? Thank you in advance.

I contracted to upgrade the electrical panel on my home in July. The preliminary proposal included the installation of an EV charger at an additional cost of $600. I failed to notice when the contract was e-signed that the EV charger install was not included. No work and no communication occurred until December 12. At that time I realized my oversight and began discussion on changing the contract to add the installation of a dedicated outlet in the garage for a Level 2 EV charger. After multiple emails with the contractor, I received an email that the change order would be written up. The next day I received an email that after discussions with management they could not do the change order, but would leave a stub-out for future work. Is that acceptable under CA law and standard practice in the industry? ...Read More
