Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.
contractor abandoned project halfway. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Yeah i've dealt with this before.
Here's where people usually go wrong is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead sadly.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I mean following this thread — Bookmarking this. Dealing with almost the exact same thing.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Have you reviewed the dispute resolution clause? Many contracts require arbitration first.
Check if there's a choice of law provision. That determines which state's law applies.
