Kingsbury2 posted:The artist's best friend is not the pencil, it is the lawyer. I'm in the market for a lawyer that understands web development & design contracts, but I'm not really sure where to start looking. Ideally I would like to find someone local (vancouver, CA) but is this even necessary? On that note do I even need a lawyer that explicitly understands web development contracts? I just want someone I can approach when I write a new contract or am presented with one. I'm at the point now where the money is adding up and one screw up could cost me a lot of money.

You need to call a lawyer and have him write a mean letter or at least threaten to do so. Are attorney fees in your contract? They should be. Also, can you prove that they have used your finished work without payment? That's a pretty big mistake on their end and could cost them more than $900, something you might want to mention if you have a good contract.

Honestly man, they cut ties with you the minute they stiffed you on the bill. Do you really want to work with people like that? Do they really want to work with you? They are hoping you don't pursue it due to: A) Lack of a backbone B) Distance C) The relatively small amount they owe you If the contract does not cover lawyer fees I would still recommend you speak with one anyway. Show him the contract and see what they say. You really need to watch gently caress You, Pay Me. Edit: Make your own contract, charge more if they want to use their own. Also, make sure their contract doesn't gently caress you.

No heart wrenching letters dudes, bad form. Calling the saps isn't a bad idea. Edit: I was in the doctors office so I wasn't as clear as I should have been. Don't appeal to their emotions, if you do, you've already lost. Since it has been several months I assume you already have, pending review with a lawyer, I don't think you're going to get paid.

I don't know how PayPal works in the EU but I assume punching in your credit card details takes about 3 minutes.

I guess it depends on how nice you are? If the project launched on time and the client isn't upset / asking for a discount why bother? You already took a hit buying the flash drive and shipping it over night... why take another if you don't have to. If anything you showed the client how well you respond to an unfortunate situation.

IF you do work for trade or free please bill them with your normal rate and apply w/e discounts you need to reach their desired price. It puts a dollar value on your time and helps avoid the "But you did it for free last time" conversation. It should be very clear that this is not a normal occurrence. Your normal rate should be high. They should be very grateful you're doing this for free / cheap.
