Product Warranty Dispute — client won't pay for completed work

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

client won't pay for completed work. I've been dealing with this for about 3 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 $37,000.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, UCC Article 2. Your state may provide additional protections.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
