Question

If someone has been paid to do work By A proposal by a verbal contract. Work was not completed. What recourse do I have

Answer

Verbal contracts are as legally enforceable at law as those

which are written. The problem, however, for those seeking enforcement

of such contracts often comes up in proving them to the trier of fact (judge or jury) in the case by a preponderance of the evidence.
