yeah - family lawyer. I don't think it will get that far though.
NEVER do work for real estate companies - theyy haven't got a CLUE!

(Mar 29 05, 11:23)if you've already handed over comps and whatnot to them, you may need a lawyer if they decide to steal your work.
i remember building out a site for a real estate company, and it took MONTHS to get copy from them.

I met with a real estate company in chicago about 6 weeks ago, for 2 hours. They have not given me one bit of copy yet. It must be a cultural thing in that industry. I think it is the whole 'get rich quick' scheme.

It's a little more complicated than I allude to. There is family involved...ergo, going against my gut feelings I did not secure 50% upfront or ask them to sign a contract.
I have myself to blame for this, but as I said - when family are involved and you are trying to do their company a favor by halving your costs you don;t expect shite like this.
Worth mentioning that said family member was not involved with the project because of our relations, and is the only one there with an ounce of a clue.

its horror stories like this that make me think its not so bad working in house after all.

sometimes, in the situation like that, it's not worth being all nasty and go after the money. it's unfortunate they didn't get that good design and good user experience can enhance their business. but it's not your loss. maybe it's good to move on if they insist not paying up and go all the way to refuse it.
look at the bright side. you are free!!!

Man, I'm no lawyer, but that may be tough to get what youre owed.
Hope they settle out of court, 'cause if they do go to an arbitrator, or court, you may be out of luck. Even with a lawyer.
this is coming from first hand Boulder County Court experience.
Good Luck!
