Small business
Superior Court, Providence County
Six weeks
Fee
$1,900, fixed
Eight months late, paid in six weeks
What happened
A joinery workshop in Olneyville built and fitted three staircases for a developer. The invoice, $18,400, went unpaid for eight months, with a new reason each time my client rang.
What I did
I collected the contract, the signed delivery notes and the messages approving the work. A notice of intent to claim a lien on the property went out with a draft complaint and a date.
How it ended
The developer paid the invoice in full before the date, with interest and my client’s legal costs. Six weeks from the first call to cleared funds.
Next matter
Granted.
Tell me what happened.
I will say where you stand.
The first call is free and takes about twenty minutes. Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 6 pm. If there is a deadline on a letter, say so first.
