CT
Hi, I'm a paint contractor insured in CT, but was hired to paint a home in NY. The client (general contractor) paid most of the bill, but still has an outstanding balance of $2,000. He's claiming because I don't carry workmans compensation in NY he shouldn't pay me the balance because of tax reasons.
Do I have a case here and if so how would I go about taking him to court? I do not have a signed agreement, but do have pictures and the homeowners have said they are very pleased with the work and even offered to recomend me in the future.
Thank you in advance for reading this, and of cours any help you can convey.

PS- if it went to court, is it possible to have the homeowner,s subpoenaed to appear for this type of thing? I'm thinking if he knew I was goiing to contact them he would pay the balance.What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
