My Mechanic lien has expired and we did not respond in time to take action on foreclosure of their home. We would like to hire a sawyer that knows about this type of stuff. Any recommendations? I am a General Contractor and the client Robert Pettit would not allow us to finish the job because they ran out of money and would not pay the last invoice of work preformed on their home to the tune of $11,200.00 and we have not and can not pay our sub-contractors. We have EVERTTHING in writing and now they have sent us a letter on Barnick/Hodges Law Corp. letterhead stating we have only a few days to sign off on the mechanic lien and take it off their home. Otherwise they will sue us but they need to be sued first because they have tried everything in their power to try and charge us for clean-up to the tune of $15,000.00 which was already professionally done and paid for by Paul Norton Construction. They had another construction company out to tile and grout their whole house and then tried to have us pay to have it cleaned again after that Tile Co. They said there was too much dust and bought all new appliances and are wanting our company to pay for it. they tried to get my Bond Co. to pay and the Board of Construction but their were DENIED Both times and keep bulling us. I have tried to make this whole thing go away and say lets call it even but they want BLOOD! Not only have they been slandering my goo name of 40yrs. reputation but Mr. Pettit works for a bank and he dug into my private finances and info. he had NO RIGHT going through as I DO NOT have an acct. or loan with the bank he works for. This is miss-use of his company and he could and should be fired! Please advise on what we should do? Thank you.
