General Contractor I used scammed me

[Shravan Gali]

Hi BP Team, 

I am looking for some help/suggestions in regards to the situation I am in. I am an investor from CA and I bought my first investment property in Columbus OH and the realtor I used to get the property recommended me a GC who came with very high recommendation. Initially the GC spoke very well and he showed me his past work and it all looked great. 

His name is KEVIN HOLMES from COLUMBUS ROOFING AND MORE LLC. After a while, he started flaking out and he would take forever to get back to me. And eventually he stopped taking my calls or doing any work. Unfortunately, I paid him most of my rehab budget but the work that was done was horrible. 

I was able to get another project manager and a new GC and get the house to a decent shape towards the end. But I spent a lot more money and spent 3 additional months. 

Can someone please recommend me a good real estate attorney from the area? Also are there any other options I can consider? 

Thank you!
