I am a subcontractor who has not been paid on several projects that we have past the normal deadline to send a registered letter to the contractor for the unpaid balance and also past the 15th day of the third month. Is there anything we can do to recover the balance we are owed?
Very often yes. While your company may have missed deadlines to secure statutory liens, that is a very common issue and it typically does not mean you cannot send demand letters, threaten lititgation, and if those attempts fail, file suit against the nonpaying general contractor under probably several causes of action.
This is exactly the type of cases/litigation my firm undertakes on behalf of subcontractors.
Please feel free to reach me directly if you'd like to discuss these various projects.
Very best,

Hello,
Yes. You can sue the general contractor for breach of contract and a number of other causes of action and you can sue the property owner for a few causes of action as well. You have to sue them both at the same time, though.
