The firm represented a subcontractor in a claim for recovery on amounts due for work performed on a 49-unit apartment building project. The firm was brought in after the general contractor refused to issue final payment following completion of the project, claiming numerous unsubstantiated back charges.
The firm filed suit against the contractor and the project’s owner for breach of contract and foreclosure of the client’s mechanic’s lien. After the firm served the complaint, but before the general contractor and owner’s answer, the general contractor paid the subcontractor’s claim in full.
