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.
