Lawyer for Unpaid Freelance Fees
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
I need to pursue legal action for non-payment of services I performed as a freelancer. The work was delivered virtually to an Arizona-based company while I was (and still am) located in Colorado, and despite a signed formal contract they have failed to pay the agreed amount.
Here is the situation in brief:
• Nature of dispute: non-payment for services rendered under a valid written contract.
• Jurisdictions involved: I reside in Colorado; the client company operates in Arizona and all work was completed online.
• Documentation on hand: the executed contract, the full email thread confirming scope and milestones, time-stamped deliverables, and my invoices.
I’m looking for an attorney who can:
1. Review the contract and supporting evidence for enforceability in either AZ or CO.
2. Advise on the most strategic forum (state or federal) and the potential for statutory interest, attorney fees, or treble damages if applicable.
3. Draft and send a demand letter, then file suit if payment is still withheld.
4. Handle negotiations or court proceedings through final judgment or settlement.
5. Work for a fraction of the money that I should recover.
Preference is given to someone admitted in Arizona, Colorado, or both, with proven experience in freelance or independent-contractor collections. Please outline your proposed approach, anticipated timeline, and any key information you still need from me.
