Connecticut
We do about $15MM a year in gross revenues. We have several $1M+ projects going on at any one time. We have been receiving more and more one-sided contracts from our GC's leaving us holding the bag in any causes for legal liability disagreements. It seems like every contract we sign leaves us open to damages that seem unfair, but the way our contracts are reading - we are left with no recourse.
ConnecticutWhat is the process of filing a lien in CT? Do I go to the town clerk? What documentation do I need? Is there a trial?
ConnecticutI'm the plaintiff. My 2 defendants hired an attorney for our small claims trial but lost the case. I was awarded a judgment that they failed to pay. How should I pursue them?
ConnecticutMy defendant did not submit an answer to my complaint. I was awarded a judgment by default and was given an appearance date for determination of damages. Then the defendant got a continuance for that hearing and hired a lawyer. Now what happens? Can the defendant still present a defense? Does he need to submit an answer? Is there any consequence for his non reply to my complaint? Should I get legal advise?
ConnecticutDefendants did not answer and I got a judgement by default and a hearing for damages. When I showed up for the hearing I was informed that the defendant just hired a lawyer and was granted a continuance. I was not notified because because it was less than 24 hours between the grant for continuance and the time I arrived for the hearing. Now I don't know if this means they now have to submit an answer. What is the difference between a rescheduled hearing for damages and an actual small claim court appearance?

ConnecticutWe are registered broker dealer and have raised approximately $20M in financing for a development project in CT. As part of our services, we are due on going fees from the financing. The owner/client has breached their agreement, stopped paying and terminated. While our agreement is quite clear that the fees we are due for the services we provided survives any termination, we want to determine if we have lien rights or if in the state of CT this is only related to construction activities. While our financing was specific to providing funding to pay for the financing, it is related, but would like counsel on whether or not this can be achieved.
ConnecticutI had a job that I originally contracted which had insurance that covered painting, drywall, and carpentry. I also did tile on this job as it is just like carpentry. This was a year long job. I no longer have the same insurance as I was planning on retiring. I kept some interior painting insurance because I had one job to do after this. The customer thinks the shower needs to be rebuilt at a high cost and I do not agree. It has some small things to address. I performed this job after the other insurance I had was gone. I explained to him what I would do to address his concerns about the shower and he refused. He then fired me after working there for a year with only %600 due at the end. I had no coverage for the tile. just paint. Is this a legal problem for me?
ConnecticutI was working on a house as a contractor and priced the work according to spec sheets given to me a year before the work began. We ended up with a dispute on tile and paint. The customer claimed the spec sheet included stone and NOT ceramic tile, and also included using a different brand of paint than what I recommended. I agreed to continue working for the same price because the spec sheets were missing. I later found them and the spec sheets said nothing about stone or special paint. The damages I suffered was in the thousands. I sued and customer paid half and asked me to come back and finish. I wrote a new contract that voided the prior one although the court case remained open for 60 days. He only owed $600 on the final contract and we had about two days left. He decided he didn't like the shower we built which was still in process and decided to fire us. He fired us and entered a counter claim. We agreed to redo parts of the shower he wanted changed and he said no. It seems to me that he agreed to guilt of my original claim by paying half. We went back to court a second time and he agreed to pay the second half of my claim and I would use that money to pay for redoing parts of his shower and paint touch ups he wanted. That is where we stand. I assume I have no legal liability to finish anything for him since he fired me. I would like the legal terms for that. I have no problem with him using the final money on my claim to pay for work on his house. The court still has another 60 day hold on the case. Customer wonders if insurance can cover the shower. I told him no because no damage was done to any property. Liability covers damage to existing property. In fact, I did not carry insurance for tile work either. I hope that doesn't become a problem for me. I did carry insurance for painting. I had planned on retiring and in fact I have and let insurance laps. The customer believes the entire shower needs to be rebuilt and I completely disagree. How do I handle this. I just want to make him go away. THANKS!!
ConnecticutWe picked up the ballpark sand from the sellers location and transported it to the town's ball field and have not been paid for the transportation by the seller. The town and our office are in Connecticut and the seller is in New Jersey.
