United Contractors Association has selected Evers Law Group as its general counsel

United Contractors Association was founded by contractors for contractors and has a stated mission of furthering the interests of its members by achieving and maintaining the highest standard of work ethics, professionalism and business practices.

United Contractors Association not only promotes and supports the notion that all contractors should be licensed but further works closely with the State Contractors Licensing Board in seeking out unlicensed, uninsured and unbonded contractors, either by way of false advertising and/or fictional license numbers, who are providing work to consumers who then expose themselves to damages as a result of poor workmanship by these unlicensed contractors. The Association at its website advises that the State Contractors Licensing Board is an overwhelmed entity who receives hundreds of complaints daily by unsuspecting consumers who have been ripped off. Generally, most of these consumers have paid for work that was not completed or are seeking damages for substandard work by unlicensed individuals, day laborers and underground tradesmen passing themselves as licensed, bonded and insured contractors. This type of activity causes millions of dollars in damages annually to personal, commercial and residential property. It is estimated there are well over one million unlicensed individuals or entities doing business as contractors in the State of California. Therefore, it is a daunting task which will require a united effort by contractors, consumers and state agencies to eradicate these unlicensed contractors and ensure that consumers are allowed to choose from licensed, bonded and ethical contractors when seeking such services.
