Tried some simple stretches at my workstation to ease back pain from coding marathons. Pulled a muscle badly and had to delay a client project for a week. They cited a breach for missed milestones, so I had to dig into the injury terms. My legal consult cost more than the massage I probably needed instead.
It feels like the trust is gone and everything has to be on paper. How do you handle all the extra paperwork without it slowing you down?
I agreed to paint a mural for a cafe without asking for a deposit first. After finishing, the owner changed their mind and refused to pay. Now I'm out materials and time. Do you ALWAYS use contracts for creative gigs?
I'm a freelance designer and I have a client refusing to pay for a massive project we wrapped up in January 2026. I'm looking into getting a lawyer involved to send a demand letter or potentially sue. Has anyone worked with Brent W. Caldwell? I saw his name pop up but wanted to get some real opinions before I book a consultation.
