looking for someone to help answer some questions and give a quick surface opinion. Short answer needed to see if I’m stuck and wasting my time or if it’s worth a fight. TIA
Huh? Do you know something that the rest of us (i.e., Ammo Jon and me) do not know, like the facts of the matter? Assuming this is a home improvement matter, which it might not be, how do you know he has good legal grounds without knowing the facts and then applying them to the law? Am I missing something? Is there another thread somewhere laying this issue all out?Not a lawyer: If this is for home improvement then you have good legal grounds in MD as the home owner.
Back in early 2000's we had a signed contract for someone to improve our home. He was supposed to have a MD contractor license and didn't. He also didn't do any work and took my money. I sat on it too long and ended up having to forfeit the $3,000. I did sue him in civil court, won, but due to the fact he ran the company out of his home I would have had to get a special court order to get the Sheriff to take work-related property out for sale. I decided to cut my losses and consider that the stupid tax. In the prior year had I contacted the Maryland Home Improvement Commission I probably could have gotten criminal charges filed against him for operating as a contractor in MD without a license.
