What is the name of your state? NJ
I have engaged a contractor (unfortunately he is not licensed) to do work and I have paid for the work in full but the job is only 9/10 complete and the contractor is no longer responding to my calls to finish. I therefore would like to sue him.
My question is the following: this contractor also works for a local electrical contracting house and he has done work at my house utilizing his employers assets (truck, ladders, equipment, etc.) - what I would like to do is to draft a non binding letter (drafted by an attorney on legal letterhead) naming both the contractor and his employer as possible targets of a potential lawsuit.
Now to state clearly, my intent with this letter is to only motivate the contractor to do the work - motivating him via pressure that his employer would put on him and hopefully the pressure he puts on himself to avoid a lawsuit. My intent would never be to actually file suit against his employer - it only would threaten this potential action in a letter. Can I legally do this ? And would an attorney agree to do this even though my intention would only be to sue the contractor not the electrical supply house ?
Please advise your opinion.
