Firstly all the advice of stalking etc etc. Forget it. If you do that you will become the criminal and he can easily seek the help of the police issue warrants etc etc..then that will be used against you in a court should you seek to sue him.

My house basically was butchered in a remodelling job. Long story short the guy did not know what he was doing, had criminals on his pay role etc etc. He game and how he ripped people off was he would do the job and start but then would require additional funds to complete.

Went through this and that but the house had a gapping hole in it had to get another contractor to repair it and a couple actually would not because of the electrical wiring issues.

So I decided to take this all to court. Investigating here and there well the guy did it to others. The DA had no desire to pursue this since it was not a glamorous case. I still went forward only to discover this...

-He owed 280k in back taxes to the Feds
-He owed 50k in back state taxes
-He owed thousands in back child support.

My lawyer said after discovering this that I should drop the case...all of those people get paid before I get paid. So after over a year I dropped it. This whole thing cost me over 15,000 bucks to pursue only to hit road block after road block.

What I am saying is sometimes you have to just eat it. If he has failed to deliver on his product and it sounds like many have experienced this he probably owes money to creditors, Feds, State Taxes and all of those will be paid long before you are given one cent.

Small Claims court is one option but one thing you probably do not know is that when awarded money you don't necessarily get it at once. You can be put on a many years payment plan based on that persons budget. If hes broke well you dont get squat.

Cheers.
