Dear all, 

Some time ago I hired a contractor, who, as I discovered later was using someone else's license.  A lot of mistakes were made.  He did a demo without pulling permits, ect.  I paid him a considerable amount of  money.  I need to  hire a solid attorney who could help me recover the funds. I would be grateful for a recommendation of a good lawyer who we can hire to help. Thank you.  

Hi Obed! Thank you so much for your reply.  Is it possible for me to reach you by email? I would greatly appreciate  it. 

In February of this year, I purchased a house in St. Petes, which requires a full gut reno.  (My goal is to then rent it long term or mid term). I hired someone who presented himself as GC and told me that it will be done in 6 months.  Until July, apart from demo nothing was done.  Then I found out that he was not a GC but working under a GC.  His strategy was to just pull some permits  (plumbing and electrical) and stitch the  house back up.  At first I just wanted my money back and end the contract, but then I spoke to the GC and told him that I need the permit for the entire project and that I want to resign the contract with him (the actual GC).  He agreed.  (I didn't cancel the contract in order to avoid the hassle of figuring out how much he owed me and looking for someone else) . However, since July of this year, nothing is happening.  At first, he said that he needed to submit the plans to the engineer.  Then, he said that he couldn't find any engineer to sign off on it.  Then, when he finally submitted it to the city electronically by "eplan" he claimed that they need an engineer to make some corrections on it.  Now, according to him, he again is waiting for the engineer to get back to him.  I"m really at the end of my tether.  I'm not sure what to do or who to turn to.  

I was wondering if anyone could give me advise on what to do.  Ideally Id like to finish this with him as I am an out of state investor, but if not can anyone recommend a good, honest and reasonable GC in Saint Petes?  

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations.
