I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
ghostwriter wants credit. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.
The contract was signed 14 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $62,000.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services honestly.
For freelancers: always have a clause specifying who owns the work product. Without it, the default rule varies by state. In most states, the client owns work-for-hire, but that's not universal for independent contractors.
The statute of limitations varies by state and contract type. Check yours.
Thanks for sharing. Dealing with something similar myself.
