I was hired by the owner to do some siding work on his property. He is the builder/General Contractor, as well as the owner. After many disagreements on site, the owner and I agreed to part ways. He was going to pay me for materials and work performed to date. Now he is not getting back to me. I thought with the owner being the general contractor, you could still file a lien without the pre-lien notice? If not, is my best bet to start a law suit?
