an existing driveway, prep and pour a new one. We performed all the tear out and prep work and when the city inspectors did the prepour inspection, they stated they wanted a curb installed between the customer’s driveway and the neigbor’s property so that if it rained, the water would not drain onto the neigboring property. The customer refused to let us pour a curb, and went to city hall, cancelled our permits using the excuse that we did move fast enough for them and had the driveway poured without the curb and had a different inspector who passed the job. We filed a lien for breach of contract and our atty. requested a flat fee of 0.00 to file the lien. In turn, the customer countered a law suit of approx ,000.00 for fraudulent damages, lost time from work, etc., Now, we want to countsue that suit and our atty said we cannot do that. Is this correct. Other exp have occurred since we orig filed the lien.
