The situation

An individual homeowner asked Precision Paralegal Services to pursue a claim of less than $10,000 against a renovation contractor and an individual associated with the business, following a dispute over the agreed work and amounts owing.

Our approach

We filed the homeowner’s claim and obtained judgment.

The amount owing was paid in full, including the costs awarded.

The outcome

The homeowner received full payment of the amount owing, including awarded costs, and the claim was resolved.

What this case illustrates

This matter shows a clear result at the payment stage: the homeowner received the amount owing and the awarded costs after judgment. The outcome goes beyond obtaining a court order to achieving full payment.
