Of course if he were getting paid "off the books" he probably would want to consider the consequences of taking an oath in a court of law before filing a lawsuit. A unlicensed illegal contractor cannot sue you since he or she is illegal. Something illegal cannot be the subject of a lawsuit.

Make sure you file before the four year anniversary of the illegal work. Answer It is true that an unlicensed contractor cannot sue to recover "compensation." However, an unlicensed contractor who is considered a "developer of mass produced housing subject to claims for strict liability" could sue a subcontractor for equitable indemnity type claims. Furthermore, there has been no case interpretation on whether or not you can recover monies paid to an unlicensed contract when you knew at the time of entering into the contract that the contractor was unlicensed. At least one noted construction law attorney has opined that a homeowner might be prevented from recovering the compensation in such cases.
