Obtained $25k Default Judgment Against Bad Contractor

When a contractor fails to complete agreed-upon work, property owners are left with the task of recovering their financial losses and holding the contractor responsible. Neither is easy for someone who isn’t trained in the law.  

Our client, a property owner, sought help to recover money paid in advance to a contractor who didn’t finish the job. As a result of the unfinished work, our client's property remained in disarray.

We filed a lawsuit against the contractor. When the contractor failed to defend against our accusations, we successfully obtained a default judgment against the contractor for $25,000. Our client was also awarded attorney fees and court costs.
