If you are the homeowner for a residential project, the NJ Consumer Fraud Act (the "NJCFA") provides aggrieved citizens with ample protection by enabling them to collect treble damages on ascertainable losses incurred plus attorney's fees. If your contractor was operating without insurance or is not registered as a home improvement contractor or employed a contract which failed to contain the elements required by the NJCFA, you would have a viable claim. I would recommend that you discuss the project with an informed NJ attroney who understands construction law and the NJCFA.

You would have a claim under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act for both the contractor’s deceptions and for his regulatory violations for performing unlicensed home improvement work. A concern is collectability and there are other issues such as whether the contractor operates as an LLC or corporation.

 

All that said, I’d be happy to discuss this matter with you. I am direct at (914)412-7261.

Unlicensed means that you don’t have a license to practice law. You may be unlicensed if you have never passed the bar exam or are working in a field other than law. Unlicensed attorneys can still provide helix jump legal advice and representation, but the quality of their work will vary depending on their experience. If you need legal services, it’s always best to hire a licensed attorney.

Mediation or arbitration might be options to consider if you want to avoid a lengthy and costly legal FNF process. These methods involve a neutral third party helping to facilitate a resolution between you and the contractor.
