I have been working for a while with a great contractor for tile installation and flooring. Him and his brother are such a hard working, professional and ethical people. They have made their way from the bottom and now own their own company with all the corresponding licenses, insurance, and legal documents.

Sadly, today they told me that they had been working for this other construction company for two full weeks, performing a lot of work for a few of their properties, and now, the owner doesn’t want to pay them.

Not only is an important sum of money and they depend on it to live but they also rejected a few other jobs to complete this one.

The biggest mistake here, is that they didn’t sign any contract or evidence that they were hired for that job and/or supposed to be paid. However, they told me there are a few people that where there as witnesses.

I really want to find a way to help them as they don’t deserve any of these.

Can you guys please give me some advice on how they should go about this? They don’t have money to hire a Lawyer but are willing to sue, or do whatever they can to recover that money.

Any advice would be helpful as I don’t know much about the matter but want to help them out.

Thank you!
