Could anyone recommend a contract attorney for a case regarding a roofer? He mistakenly advised us to replace the entire roof under the premise that there was no paper underneath. The mistake makes a difference of $1,400 for repair of the skylight area vs. $6,700 for the entire roof. We're willing to pay $5,000 but he does not want to compromise and threatens to place a lein against our house. I've signed a contract to pay for the roof without any mention of the paper not being underneath the roof. I have witnesses who saw the paper during demolition. Thank you in advance. Susan
I've recently asked for recommendations to a good contract attorney
regarding a contractor problem and I saw a few months? ago a request
for a contract attorney as well but did not save the replies that
were received. I'd like to share the names of two attorneys I found
most informed, articulate, level-headed, and kind in providing "free
advice" over the phone. One is a Berkeley alumni, Michael Sullivan
who is listed either under Contract or Contractor Attorney column in
the Oakland yellow pages. The other is Steven Herman of S.F. listed
under contractor attorney column. These two were the most helpful
and I would not hesitate to secure them to help me on any issues that
require legal assistance in contract and contractor arena.
