Yes, you have the right to be paid for work performed. Depending on the type of work you performed, you may also have lien rights with regard to specific jobs. If it is worth the money to you, I would advise consulting a local attorney to assist you in preserving your lien rights -- in TN you have a VERY short time frame within which to start the lien process.
