Q: I need help getting paid from company i did contract/freelance work for in 2023/2024.
I submitted 2023 invoice for 15,500 + 463.00 in expenses on March 14th,2024 and 2024 invoice for 15,000 + 457.00 in edpenses on May 12th, 2024. I have been emailing with CFO since May and keep getting told they are having cash flow issues, working with lenders/banks and plan on paying me,etc but wont' give timeline,etc. I have requested many times via email to work out an installment plan in meantime but haven't heard back anything really definitive. They clearly are still functioning and running a business (website,employees,etc). this is causing me extreme financial hardship since depended on this job payment. I have sent many emails since May and want advise on next steps, how to get paid etc. I am very concerned. thank you for you kind help and advice.

A: You need a strong settlement demand letter prepared based on the applicable state, local and federal laws. A professional attorney can help you negotiate just compensation and, if necessary, file a lawsuit to enforce your rights in court.
