Q: our GC lied about being licensed,
Can we sue him? His work is so bad we will have to pay someone else to remove and replace the tile in the shower, he was to be completed the third week in Jan, on April 4th , he stopped and wanted his last payment, we did not give him a dime....he did not pull a permit for the electrical that was moved. He is treating to sue us.
A: Yes, you can sue him. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and retain a local attorney to review the facts and discuss your options. The attorney can advise if it would be cost-effective to sue him. But even if you sue, and win, he might not have any money to be able to repay you.
