Contractor has left me in the DARK!

[Ryan Saldanha]

I gave large deposits to a GC on 2 flips in FL. One project is small 3 bedroom house is only 50% done after 3 months.  2nd flip I gave deposit 10 weeks ago and I checked with the permitting office and their drawings/plans have been kicked back twice for the last 10 weeks so nothing has started!

My fault that I didn't sign an independent IAC and the agreement had NO written deadlines . Contractor has left me in the DARK!

A larger legal firm I went to for advice - said they can send a demand letter and possibly attach new deadlines that the contractor must adhere to thru some legal avenue.  Is this possible?
