With Florida about to surpass Texas as the nation’s 2^nd largest state, only to California, and with nearly 300,000 people moving to Central Florida alone annually, the construction industry is booming. With this boom, unfortunately, come many unscrupulous and/or unlicensed contractors looking to make a quick buck at the expense of us Floridians.

If any of the following happened to you or your family, the attorneys at Lannon Land Litigation Local Law are here to help you:

• You hired a contractor to perform a construction improvement project at your business or home. You paid the contractor in full, and the contractor has never returned despite your many phone calls, e-mails and text messages?
