I installed new windows and some dry rot repair. Her deposit checked bounced, it took 5 weeks to recover that amount. I had finished the project she stilled owed 24k. I had to pay for the new windows. I hired Levelset to help with the lien. I hired a lawyer to help. She paid $19K, leaving a balance of $4727. This balance does not include your or the attorneys fees or interest on the balance.
