Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
ghostwriter wants credit. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
The contract was signed 14 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $148,000.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under common law contract principles, unconscionable.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
