Home Improvement Contractor Program

I was notified a couple of weeks ago that I have been accepted to the panel for the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor Arbitration Program that is run by the state Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

I will report back as I start to get cases.

Mechanic’s liens are complicated.  They consist of two documents: a Notice of Contract and Statement of Acc...
