Recently I went to work as general contractor for a house renovation. We agreed that my fee would be a percentage of the projects cost. Now after three months of work my client has decided that he no longer needs my services and wants to pay me a portion of the amount we agreed upon. Because we had a mutual friend we never had a signed contract. Is there anything I can do? I have expenses in travel time, phone calls, lodging and meals, to say nothing of an hours spent and what he wants to pay me amounts to less than minimum wage. Any help would be much appreciated.
