What is my best course of action if a contractor won't pay me for work I completed?

FloridaSlow Payment
Anonymous Contractor

I am in Miami Florida and a construction company is not paying for work that I performed. What is my best course of action in order to get paid and what are the deadlines involved in the course of action you recommend?

Without knowing more of the circumstances on why payment is being denied and if you just want your money, you could hire a commercial collection agency who would offer to collect the debt on a contingency bases so you won't be throwing good money after a bad account.  Feel free to email me for a free quote at srauch@rauchmilliken.com .  Best regards, Steve
