LouisianaHello,
I paid my contractor 25k up front to repair damage caused by Hurricane Ida (I'm in New Orleans).
He has hired unlicensed contractors and just as they were about to complete their work he fired them claiming they had done a poor job. This has happened 3 times so far with 3 separate unlicensed contractors. The first crew did not do a very good job (hanging drywall) but the next two crews did well. In fact, the third crew did a great job and he has refused to pay them anything. Now he will not return my phone calls or emails. I've been reading up on the LA laws and I'm now concerned that I will not be able to recover my money from the contractor and that I may even be sued by the subcontractors even though I paid the main contractor. Any help or advice?
LouisianaThe contractors notice of lien rights was not signed but we may need to file a lien. The next step I see is to file an intent to lien then the actual lien. What rights do we have? We are a general contractor pursuing lien rights on residential home for the remaining balance owed of $35,023.04
Louisianawe have a partial payment on a mechanics lien, but the person still owes & will not finish paying- how do i show a progress payment & potentially perfecting that lien
LouisianaHello - I am in need of help please. Lien #5873507 was administered against me last year on a property I own. I only found out about it just now because I am about to sell the property and it came back on title abstract. The lien is 100% fraudulent. I have tried reaching out to the person who put the lien on the property - found him via LLC lookup - and he responded initially then stopped and won't respond to me or the title company. This is so frustrating, please help.
Thank you,

Louisianasub tiers won't return waiver even after I paid
Louisianalate on a job. will a notice still protect me.
Louisianai was leasing a building to operate my business out of in Alexandria LA, for approx. 3 years. after the first two which were within the original 2 year lease we signed the last year we opted to go month to month because sales were slow from that store and we could not seem to find good help in that area. I recieved a call from Troy Beauford the owner of that building and the owner of The Yankee Clipper landscaping which was a highly rated lawn service in that area. oy asked if I would like to buy the building and I declined . He then asked if he could show building to prospect buyers and I stated only if he accompanied them when in the building due to all the inventory and equipment we had at that location. he agreed . about 3 weeks went by and I recieved anj e mail from a giuy named ricky ferris and he stated he was the new owner of the building and would like us to send the rent checks to him instead of troy. I called Troy and he confirmed, but i was ready to pull out of Alexeandria La all togeather and focus my business where revenue was coming in. I informed Mr. Ferris and he was upset but nothing he could say . we gave a 30 day notice and when time came to retreive our stock I had hired a crew and moving truck and sent them on a 3 hr trip to Alexandria. When they arrived at shop locks were changed and M r. Ferris was not their like he promised to let s retrieve our belongings. Mr Ferris was reached by phone by Corporal Flynn of Bienville sherriffs office whch I had called for assistance when the moving crew informed me what was happening. Mr Ferris told the Corporal he wanted 3k to release inventory and the corporal told him he cannot hold our belongings hostege and if he felt we owed him money that would have to be done in civil court and Mr Ferris reluctantly agreed and said for me to call him and we could arange another day to meet him to nlock building to retreive belongings which included new and sed equipment for industrial/commercial cleaning applications ,Chemicals,office furnature,signage,kitchen furnature for break room a overnigtht queen futon with wool matress, and 2 offices full of furnature along with our air compressor, fork lift, and all wi fi equipment and computers everythig we needede to run our business in excess of 50k. Well Mr FERRIS dodged my calls and e mails for about a year so I called previous owner that I had made the original deal on trhe lease and troy stated that he would be found liable because he led M r. Ferris to believe we were the perfect tennant (never late on rent,fully insured, and the amount I paid for rent would more than cover his mortgage. When that didnt happen Mr. Ferris retaliated by keeping our belongings. Now I think they are both at fault but Mr. Ferris is the bully in this trying to get something for nothing and now he states all our belongings are not there because he leased it out to another company and he said I would have to get with them but they said they have no idea where my stock is. Now Mr Ferris playing molew again and cannot be reached. Troy Beaford started this mess and Mr. Ferris endxed it by stealing over 50 k in stock and belongings. What do I need to do to recoupe my losses., please respond to absolutepressure357@gmail.com Thank You Anthony Skupien
