Sub-contracted no payment
I need some help on where to start. We were sub-contracted out to do a job for a contractor and never paid. Need to know where and what to file. Our biz is in VA the Job was is VA / he the guy not paying is in TN and I live in FL. First time burned and no experience with this sort of topic. Any advise would be great... I think it can go through small claims due to the amount is under 5K.
Thanks and Happy Holidays

Best Bet, Get a lawyer to write him a letter. Something like a cease-and-desist might work... Just an idea, but a lawyer is mandatory in these types of situations...

Yea definately get a lawyer, he'll look over the contract, if you had one, and he'll go from there, sorry to hear that you got burnt, but we all learn on mistakes.

No uncle Vinnie in Tennessee, though you might find Billy Bob. How long have you been trying to collect? i guess another way would be small claims court

I clearly DON'T know what you meant. How would a cease-and-desist order solve the problem? I think you are pretty far off base. Might want to leave the legal advice to the attorneys.

haha :P Sorry to laugh at your expense bro... Do you know any lawyers personally? I'd suggest getting a lawyer buddy to take a general look at the contract before you pay another, more specialized attorney. Often times even lawyers that don't practice in that area can tell you if it would be worth pursuing (monetarily speaking) before you hire someone
