I argued that... View More

Fire protection is a justifiable reason for him to enter. I'll assume he had the necessary battery and installed it during the incident.
You are being unreasonable.

This never happened. That is what a judge will tell you. To have an enforceable contract, you secure a bid/quote on SPECIFIC WORK, how it is to be done, when it is to be done, who is responsible for the work permits, what it will cost, and how long it is guaranteed.

First, "time and frustration" is not a legally compensable element of damages in most types of cases. What matters most in this type of case is what actual legally compensable damages you suffered. How much money did you have before your dealings with this company that you parted with... View More

An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. If there's a written agreement, an attorney would want to see its terms. As far as your communications, it's possible that you and the company could have conflicting versions of what happened. A starting... View More
