Schulansky Goes to Court

RE: Schulansky construction dispute, Our file No. 11-1248
DATE: November 21, 2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deborah Schulansky, a client of ours, has consulted me concerning a dispute that has arisen between her and a contractor who recently built an addition to her vacation home. It appears that this problem cannot be resolved without filing suit. I would like you to help me with the case.
Although Schulansky lives here in Plymouth, Massachusetts, she also owns an antique colonial home in Alton,New Hampshire, which she uses as a vacation home. The house dates from 1782 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Last spring, Ms. Schulansky met Richard Ronan, a New Hampshire contractor, while he was restoring a house in Plymouth. After some negotiations at her home in Plymouth, the parties agreed that Ronan would build an addition on the back of the Alton house. Ronan mailed a “Proposal and Estimate” to Schulansky in Plymouth, and she signed and returned it. I have attached a copy of the Proposal and Estimate for the job, signed by both parties.
