Legal Question in Construction Law in California
contractor fraud
The contractor who build much our
home took the money we paid him
and deposited it into the account for
his own personal home materials
instead of his account for our home
at the materials company. He is now
broke with a lean on his home and
the materials company is suing us. I
am a stay home mom and my
husband is a teacher whose school
will close in two months (translation -
soon unemployed). How do we get
the contractor's bond from the
bonding company?
Thank You

Re: contractor fraud
You should hire an attorney to make a claim with the bonding company. You may also need to sue him, and defend the lawsuit from the materials company. You may contact my office for assistance.

Re: contractor fraud
By filing against it through the State Contractor's License Board. Don't expect the bond to be for more than a few thousand dollars, if he even has one. You can also sue him for breach of agreement and fraud, but if he has nothing, then nothing is what you'll recover.

You can get that information directly from the Contractors State Licensing Board.
