What is the name of your state? MO
I am a web designer who took a job without a contract. The client sent $500 after 2 weeks of work to "reinforce the relationship" as a down payment for the completed site. Two weeks later he asked for all the FTP logon information (the passwords to gain access to editing), claiming he wanted to make small changes himself. He told me to continue working, so I did. As I near completion, he tells me he does not need my services anymore due to the fact that he found someone else to do the job for less. I immediately took all of my work off the site. HE CLAIMS THE SITE BELONGS TO HIM AND THAT I AM STEALING, IS THIS CORRECT?
