Partnership Agreement Dispute — client won't pay for completed work

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

client won't pay for completed work. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 19 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $77,000.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under UCC Article 2, a material breach.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
