I am doing some part-time administrative work for a friend who has an owner/operator pressure washing business located in NC in its first year of business. Recently, my friend has expressed interest in expanding his operations to FL so that he can eventually live and work between both states. He is currently licensed and insured in NC. Is he able to obtain some kind of reciprocity for his current licensure or will he be required to start from square one in FL?...Read More
I am a homeowner, 4 days prior to Ida, we had solar panels installed. Half were damaged and blown off of course, so after we allowed the solar panel co to do our roof and redo our panel system. After a year, they finally replaced our roof and panels. During the roof replacement a downpour occurred and the inside of our home was flood in certain areas, sheetrock was soaked in two bedrooms which led to mold, recessed lighting damaged, my HVAC in the attic was damaged and soon after the whole unit went out, and my living room floor buckled. We called the solar co they advised us that they had it all covered and would file a claim through their insurer to cover the damages in August 2022. In January i reached out but no one ever could find out info. I pulled their Gen Liability cert off of the internet contacted their insurer who would later tell me that no claim was ever filed. Then that we would need to file w/ the contractor that was hired by the solar co to do our roof. Claim was finally filed after 5 months, and an adjuster was assigned then we were sent over to another claims company, and another adjuster assigned. Fast forward to March 17 2023 i reached out to adjuster was told that we should have an answer this week, 11 days later, today 3/28 i am being told that the contractor was not isnured to do roofs and that we need to find an attorney and file suit against the solar co and the contractor now. HELP!! ...Read More
I believe a person was impersonating as a licensed general contractor. When I verified the license in GA, the license belonged to a completely different individual. When I called the provided insurance carrier of the general contractor, the insurance company said the company did not have an active policy. Unsafe electrical and structural work has caused many problems but I do not know the proper legal process to follow. I believe a breach of contract seems correct however since the company has no verifiable information or entity, it actually sounds more like fraud and criminal negligence?...Read More

I received and lean for work done on a three level three unit apartment building and I live in one of the units the lien is an intent to lean it was sent registered mail but I never signed it because it was just put through the door. I did respond to the letter with the text to the contractor stating he sent me a bill a final bill and it did not show eight payments since last April. I am willing to pay the entire amount which dramatically exceeded the original budget due to construction problems such as plumbing and electrical that were not anticipated and four month delay in completing the project because of covid supply line delays. I cannot refinance this property that has significant equity with a lien. I don't even know if his payments would reconcile with my Banks payments. How could you assist me...Read More

I am a GC that was hired on a Federal Public job. A contract was entered and I had filed the Millar act bonds in the beginning of the job. They were submitted to the CEO and secretary by registered mail and notary. A rental agreement was also made for the customer to pay additional rental fees. Since then the customer has defaulted on the contract and has been breached. A administration process was conducted by way of notary witness aging. All signature cards were returned and a certificate of non response was received. The affidavit of truth was also certified with the country and then a Apostille was filed in the state. The administration was concluded with a UCC 1 Notice of lien and the parties were served and invoiced. They currently are still binded in the contract with a daily fee for the rental and I am uncertain on how to proceed with the notice of lien and Millar act bonds that were sent registered mail and also entered on the collateral section. I tried opening a miscellaneous case in federal court to process a summary judgement where the case was converted to a summons and complaint. The lien notice does not have any controversy so I assume a summons and complaint is incorrect because of the default. I have a difficult time with moving the courts correctly. I am a self studying paralegal and also contract for my business trust. I am uncertain if I filed my bonds correctly and their customer refuses any contact. The equipment that is in the rental agreement has also been entered into the UCC 1. I know I can do a UCC 3 assignment of debt to the I%RS and treasury with the bonds. I have so many open doors for closure and just cant seem to seal it....Read More
