The question here is not very clear. You mention that "3 notices have been sent," but it not clear which type of notices.  Are these preliminary notices, notices of a bond claim, etc.  It is not clear which type of notices are sent. The question also mentions that "County Risk Management" has denied the "claim."  It is not clear what "county risk management" is, or what agency is involved here. Also, since you refer to a "claim" here, it seems like you are referring to a "claim notice" of some type? If I were to make some assumptions, I would assume that you filed a bond claim against some Alabama government projects.  When you say that "County Risk Management denied the claim," you're saying that the county is denying the bond claim.  It is possible for bond claims to get denied, but that can happen for many legitimate reasons, and for many reasons that should be overcome. It is not clear from your question, however, why the bond claim is being denied. Generally speaking, a bond claim is a claim that is made against a "Payment Bond" that is held by the general contractor on a state/county project.  When a bond claim is made, the bond claim must be presented to the surety company (i.e. the insurance company that issues the bond).  And then, the surety will investigate the claim, and will either pay hte claim or will deny the claim.  This works a lot of like an insurance claim.  Generally speaking, neither the government agency nor the general contractor will "approve" or "deny" the claim.  Instead, that is something done by the surety. Here are two articles that may help you better understand where you stand with your bond claim (if, in fact, this question is regarding a bond claim):

Hopefully this helps you in your situation. If you have any clarifications to the question, you can make those below.  Your question states "I would like a consultation," however, this is not the place to get a consultation.  If you have used Levelset software as a user and have questions about something related to your account, you can contact the company's support team for help.  If you're looking for a legal consultation, you should get in touch with an Alabama construction attorney.
