Am I the only one dealing with client won't pay for completed work??

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

client won't pay for completed work. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 24 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $17,000.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The thing that gets people is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.

Following this thread — Following this thread -- same thing is happening to me right now.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
