Is the contract enforceable?

Answered 10 years and 11 months ago by Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
 Was the work completed as required by the contract? If  The work was completed according to the contract, then the contractor should be paid for the work done.

We have two partners do construction law and have 25 years of experience each. Please call to discuss. Ed Dimon... Read More
