This is the story of a client who requested assistance from a Seongnam civil attorney.
While looking for a construction company to carry out a business project, the client came to know a contractor related to the business.
The client paid the supply price, set a construction period, and then entered into a construction contract with that company.
However, whenever the client asked the contractor about the progress, the contractor only offered excuses, such as that the permit had not been granted, and the construction did not even begin.
