Lansing, MI asked in Construction Law for Michigan

Q: I recently did a job for a customer but was a third party through the whole process. I completed the job.

Unfortunately I wasn't paid at all. My friend who got the job for me, through the construction company. During the whole processes of the job I had mainly had to go to him for questions and did get the first half down. Well the first half was $4700 and I only got 4000 thousand cash in a parking lot. So I ended up finishing the whole job with out getting the other half. I sent a invoice to the construction company and they approved it but I didn't get paid by them or anything

A: Your issue is with the construction company. Sounds like customer paid as they agreed, and they are not responsible for whatever arrangements you had going with your friend.
