Interior Contractor Charged For Fraud – In New York?
And guess where it happened – that’s right, New York City. . One of which is hiring a CM firm who “manages&# the job but the subcontractors bill the client directly and the CM firm is paid a fee directly.  Then that same sub would be working on another project in which Lehr was acting as a general contractor and lehr would effectively give this money back by charging less than the amount originally bid on the job.  That’s right folks a contractor has been indicted for fraud for stealing over $30 million from clients over ten years.
