A few months ago Mung/CA, CopperheadVA, and a few others posted about collecting from a law firm. I do a fair amount of non-loan work for law firms. Overall the experience has been favorable. They pay in advance when requested. They pay on time when invoiced. However, last year I ran into a law firm that would not pay me. The invoice is dated 10/2008.
I read thread #325269 I said, "Aha!" Yesterday, I typed up a letter to the State Bar Assoc. for the purpose of filing a grievance. Faxed a copy to the law firm. Surprise. Surprise. I get my a phone call from the attorney's office today telling me "check is in the mail". For some reason I believe them this time. It sure is nice to have some leverage in order to hold people accountable.
Thanks CopperheadVA. |
