Legal Question in Construction Law in Nebraska

No Written contract

Had a contractor remodel a basement. Material prices were shown to me, but labor costs were never discussed. I think i was taken advantage of and way overbilled on labor. Do I have anything to stand on with no written agreement or am I stuck with a $7,000 labor bill?

It should probably be considered in light of the materials; consult with someone who does that type of work and they can tell you what it should have cost. Unfortunately, when you try to get too good of a deal you often end up paying much more.
