Contractor Problem - Maryland Specific
I have paid a contractor in full to complete a rehab. I know I should have never done that but I can't go back now. I'm guessing there is about 20k worth of work left. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to attempt to get this money back. I'm going to report them to the state licensing dept and file a complaint, contact the Maryland Attorney General and file a complaint. I'm also going to do everything I can to make sure these guys do not do business ever again. I'll go to meetups get the word out etc.. Is there any other protection I have as a consumer that I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you mean in addition to filing a civil suit? I believe MD contractors are required to be bonded, so ask the licensing agency how you go about forcing compliance or being covered under the bond. I'm not a lawyer, no legal advice.
