What to do next?

UtahCollections

I did a landscaping job clean up and finish the job as me and the property management agreed on. First the told me I’ll get paid in 30 days then 90 days. 90 days came up and now they are telling me work wasn’t completely and wasn’t going to pull for the work. The manager knows we completely the work as he came out when we were done and told me great work and to not do a certain section tell he found out with the property owner. Never heard back on that. So I filed a notice of intent to lien and today I just got a email from one of their lawyers saying they are not going to pay for full amount that they are willing to pay me $2100. Also that I’m licensed and bonded etc etc. I’m a small business as I am licensed and insured. Just hate that I’m a small business and taking advantage of my hard work. What should I do next? Take the money and get this past me or fight it for more?? Thank you

Verbal contracts are legally enforceable (although they can be more difficult to prove). Depending on what the difference is between how much you believe you are owed compared to the $2,100 offered, you could choose to keep negotiating with them or to bring a lawsuit. Assuming the difference is less than $11,000, small claims court would probably be your best option. You should consult with Utah construction attorney for more specific legal advice.
