Hypothetical question

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?

Illustrative response

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.

Illustrative response

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.
