I was a general contractor working on a house remodel. We previous did "Phase 1 " and "Phase 2" was the kitchen remodel...well basically the whole house. During this time the homeowner added a significant amount of work and due to her paying close to what was originally requested for completion minus the additional stuff I lost track of having her sign the documents. She was also displaced from her home for a period of time which made it difficult to sit down and explain the charges she accrued. Also my wife gave birth to twins at the start of the project and that was also a reason for the documents not being signed. I have emails from Ms. Nevins for us to start and acknowledgement of the additional work she wanted and also needed added in order for construction to continue and for MILROK Construction to guarantee is craftsmanship. She began to get very hostile and threatening once she was made aware of the additional amount needed in order to complete her Phase. Due to her threatening behavior I was forced due to safety concerns to walk away from the project and protect my assets. She currently owes close to $58, 000 dollars. This is due to her using the majority of the money on the additional items and overages from the accepted proposal to begin. I sent her a demand letter and was wondering if I was able to file a construction lien to recoup the money she owes me and the government.
