I was a general contractor working on a house remodel. We previous did "Phase 1 " and "Phase 2" was the kitchen remodel...well basically the whole house. During this time the homeowner added a significant amount of work and due to her paying close to what was originally requested for completion minus the additional stuff I lost track of having her sign the documents. She was also displaced from her home for a period of time which made it difficult to sit down and explain the charges she accrued. Also my wife gave birth to twins at the start of the project and that was also a reason for the documents not being signed. I have emails from Ms. Nevins for us to start and acknowledgement of the additional work she wanted and also needed added in order for construction to continue and for MILROK Construction to guarantee is craftsmanship. She began to get very hostile and threatening once she was made aware of the additional amount needed in order to complete her Phase. Due to her threatening behavior I was forced due to safety concerns to walk away from the project and protect my assets. She currently owes close to $58, 000 dollars. This is due to her using the majority of the money on the additional items and overages from the accepted proposal to begin. I sent her a demand letter and was wondering if I was able to file a construction lien to recoup the money she owes me and the government.

WashingtonAfter entering the account into Levelset we received a "suggestion" we ask a lawyer as "Your payment rights are at risk because you missed a deadline". I am assuming this is because a Notice was not filed for this job that we started in May 2021. Would you please advise?

WashingtonI was recently gifted a vehicle from an ex boyfriend. I'm currently waiting on the title. When my ex boyfriend owned the car, he got financing for a tune up because he wanted to pay it off in installments. Some of the 400 dollar debt remains unpaid and the work was done on the car in July 2021. What will be the outcome of this?
WashingtonI just received a lien against my property for services provided by my landscaping company - they built a patio for me in mid-September. I paid my landscaper in full when the work was performed. The claimant is the pavingstone provider. The landscaper is the “person indebted”. In addition, the date “contributions became due” was three months before the work was even performed at my house. Can I be held legally liable for this if my landscaper did not pay the pavingstone company, even though I paid in full? What is my recourse here?
Washingtonan unlicensed handyman that doesn’t even have a business license was hired to paint a home, and walked off the job before finishing. He is now demanding payment for the job or he is threatening to file a lien against the property. He is not licensed for business nor is he licensed specialty contractor. Can he still file a lien on an unfinished job? There was no written contract, just an email stating that he would get $1000 down payment with the remainder paid once completed.
