Any recos for a home improvement attorney?

We had hired a contractor to fix a leaky ceiling. The contractor completed mitigation (paid by insurance) + rebuild (insurance did not pay) of the space.
When I saw the final invoice, they have highly inflated the invoice in hopes of getting it claimed by the insurance. Now that we are paying for rebuild out of pocket, I questioned them for the inflated amounts. The contractor hired a collection agency to get this amount from us.
Need help with this!

One query, I have received an offer letter from Wipro (Career Group: C1) with package of 28 LPA, out of which INR 420000 is allocated as 'Variable Pay' which will be paid on quarterly basis'. Need to know how much % would generally be paid out? Is it 100% or less as per the individual/organization performance.

I’m so tired of US companies hiring remote Canadian employees offering to pay a fraction of the price for the same role.

This is consistent across the majority of the tech companies. While I am looking to exit consulting, don’t want to be paid 50% of what my colleagues would be making across the border.
