请律师帮帮我.
装修合同内容如下:
12月1号开始装修为期18天. 12月18号装修工负责我们立刻开业.
因为他们没有申请BUILDING PERMIT 被**停止工作了
直到2013年1月11号才完工.我少给他1000美元.倍偿我的损失.
他不同.如果打官司..我可以赢吗.

他什么都没有.装修电和水他都是找到老美做的.
所有的工程都承包给他做的.
刚刚得知,他请律师告我不给他钱. (之前电话里和他说少付给他1000美元他不同意)

不会为了1,000美元请律师吧， 应该是小额法庭， 如果你认为你在理的话，可以收集对你有利的证据，在法庭上， 让法官来裁决。如果万一你失了，就多花个100多左右他的提告费用。

谢谢你。我不想麻烦，我要给他全款。他不接电话。

依照法律，你一毛钱都不需要付，还可以求偿你时间丶精神损失，将已付的部分都可以求偿回来的！他已严重违反了加州执照法规了！于理于法你都站的住脚的！有哪个笨律师不懂法规才会接他的案子！

Consequences of Contracting Without a License
At the request of the building industry, the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) was established in 1929 to help raise construction standards through state regulation and, thereby, protect consumers.
Those who operate without a state-issued license harm the public, tarnish the respectability of the construction industry, and undermine California’s financial foundation by operating in the underground economy.
Enforcement of state contracting laws is part of the regulatory process. CSLB’s Statewide Investigative Fraud Team (SWIFT) proactively conducts undercover sting and construction site sweep operations each week around the state to determine if contracting laws and regulations are properly followed.
Those who are caught contracting without a license likely will have to appear before a Superior Court judge to answer to misdemeanor charges that can carry a potential sentence of up to six months in jail and/or a $5,000 fine, as well as an administrative fine of $200 to $15,000. If illegal contracting continues, the penalties become more severe. A second offense results in a mandatory 90-day jail sentence and a fine of 20 percent of the contract price or $5,000.
Felony charges are filed against anyone who illegally uses another person’s contractor license or who tries to mislead consumers into believing that he or she is a licensed contractor. Anyone who contracts for work in a state or federal natural disaster area without an active state contractor license also could face felony charges. If convicted of a felony, a person may have to serve time in state prison.
Also be aware that consumers are not legally required to pay a person who is not state-licensed, and cannot be sued for non-payment. If a licensed contractor can’t resolve a disagreement with a consumer, CSLB offers tools ranging from on-site negotiation to mediation and arbitration. These services are free of charge to licensed contractors and consumers.
The cost of a state contractor license is an affordable, valuable investment in your professional career.
他如果敢告，甚至搞到自己身败名裂吃牢饭！

真是太谢谢你了。。电工和水工 他是请老美（有证书的工程师）帮忙做的。 这样也是违法的吗？

他找谁做那是他的事，他跟你签约施工就是严重违法！他以为找了老美出来垫背就没事？他算计的可深，错了啊！主要是签约人的资格问题！
