My husband and I have been having trouble with these two guys, Mike and Joe. Mike was hired to do vinyl work on houses we were building but hired Joe to do it for him. He did not pay Joe and tried to blame it on my husband. My husband showed Joe proof that Mike had been paid for the job; however, Joe threatened to put liens on the houses until he got paid. He even tried to coerce my husband into paying him because my husband was the one with all the money (Joe's exact words). He and my husband nearly get into a physical fight, when Joe backs down, not realizing how upset my husband was going to get. My husband then calls Mike and tells him to write a check for Joe and that Joe would wait until the end of the week to cash it. Joe apologizes to my husband and leaves. The very next day, Joe calls my husband and tells him he's going through w/the liens. He never tries to cash the check. I don't know what else to do other than hire a lawyer. Any advice to a wife at her wit's end?
