Hypothetical question

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

music producer claiming all royalties. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 12 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $122,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
