Previous Contractor Threaten To Sue And Demands 5k
I worked with a contractor last year and for a number of communication issues I didn’t hire him back to finish some of the work. The communication issues cost us a lot more money than expected so he’s definitely paid more than we agreed with.
His worker reached out to finish the remaining work a few months later. And recently reached out again for our frontyard project because the contractor boss was on vacation.
One week into the job the contractor boss shows up with his workers on my frontyard asking what I am doing and said he thought we were friends. We weren’t. He called me names, dropped my requirements whenever he could and continuously ask for more money with remaining work leverage. He constantly tells me I don’t know how things are while making me pay him more.
I didn’t officially agreed to anything but he is expecting me to wire him money.
My question is: can I get into trouble for hiring his workers even though they reached out? Our original work contract doesn’t have any non-compete or non soliciting clause. I believe his workers can work on the weekend and I am not their employer anyway just a two week job.
What can he sue me for? The remaining work that he didn’t get to finish even though the final amount is far beyond what was agreed upon? We also never signed the contract.
Also happy to take any advice! Thanks!
