Morning Jerry,

Unfortunately here at Levelset we specialize in construction mechanics liens, material and/or labor on a property, so this wouldn't fall under what I know.

I would suggest contacting an attorney though, depending on the amount of money she owes you. If the money is under your states maximum for Small Claims, you could potentially try that route to avoid attorney fees.

Here is an article on how to win Small Claims, but you would have to check with your State statute first. Small Claims 

I wish you luck in resolving your situation and please don't hesitate to let me know if I can help you with anything else.
