What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I'm an illustrator and I did a piece for a giant software company (their US office is in CA) and a few months after I delivered the art I inquired about why I did not receive payment yet and basically the guy I delt with at the company said he witheld the invoice and wasn't going to pay because it was late and they couldn't use it...even though he asked me to send them the art. Anyway after discussing the payment, he sent an e-mail saying yes they did agree to pay me $3000. but would I take $1000? (I refused any lesser amount)
I have a lot of e-mails comfirming the company making an offer, me quoting a price, and them accepting. I did a piece for them the previous month and had no problems. Basically it looks like the art director mis-managed the situation and he's just hoping I fade out.
Well, I discussed the situation with a volunteer arts lawyer during a free consultation and she recommended small-claims court, but after the stuff I read on this board I have doubts they'll ever turn up in court here in PA. Does anyone have any advice or info?
