What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hello
I do translations of documents. A few weeks ago, a law firm that has worked with me before contacted me regarding the translation of some documents. The law firm's secretary called to ask for price. I gave them 2 price quotes, for rush service and regular service. She said "let me call the client and I will let you know."
then she emailed, saying she wants the rush service.
I gave them rush service and sent them an invoice. After receiving the invoice, the same secretary emails me, saying "I will send your invoice to our client, he is paying directly"
At this point I was pissed because I was under the impression that the law firm is paying and I don't have to deal with a private individual. I never do work for individuals unless I am paid in advance.
So now the law firm's client has not paid me and I am not sure what to do. should I sue him, should I sue the law firm, what do I do? If I have to sue the law firm, who would I sue? The secretary, the owner?
