I am sorry for the problems but, unfortunately, there are no easy answers. If he continues as threatened and files liens you will need to file a suit for the breach of contract and to remove the liens. There are several effective suit strategies to use against the general contractor to get them to hopefully resolve this matter including assertion of lien trust fund claims.

You need to contact a local attorney and provide them all documents and additional facts. Lien defense and strategy is complicated and is very dependent on the facts.
