You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You should speak with an employment lawyer. If the attorney agrees with you that you have been wronged, they will take the case and seek attorney's fees to be paid by the employer.

If the attorney determines that you were an independent contractor, then you can may be able to file a Claim of Lien as a subcontractor. You will need to review the applicable mechanics liens statutes prior to doing so.
