Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

contractor abandoned project halfway. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 3 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $108,000.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
