Q: I receive two letters from two different lawyers and I need a lawyer
I was hired to write and direct a stage play. The guy promised to pay me and the actors even if the play was canceled. The man ha yet to pay me or the actors. and I received two letters from lawyers on his behalf. both of his claims are false. however, I have been giving a week to respond to one. I would like to sue this man for non-payment, abuse, harassment, and emotional distress. I have spoken with the actors and they agree to testify if need be on my behalf.
A:
The "one week to respond" is baloney---but hard to tell if they are saying you have one week to do something you are obligated to do under the contract....different.
It's hard to tell without knowing the facts. You can call for a free consultation and I can better direct you.
