I didn't come to these realizations the first or even the second time. I have been burned a couple of different times, it is pretty stressful. For one of my clients I had to involve the police. Some people are just dicks. It is good that you are learning this lesson when you only put 6 hours into the job. As additional advice. A verbal contract is a contract. It is not as solid as a written contract, but it is admissable in court (US). What the client did to you is called Theft of Service and you can take the person to court over this. For values of less than $2500 you can go to small claims court and have the judge make a decision on this. You need to make the determination of what this is worth to you, and weather a claim is worth persuing. Make sure to write down and document all the work you do. Jot down simple notes. 10:00am-12:00pm designed logo mockups for client 1:00pm - 3:00pm Client meeting for revisions 3:30pm - 4:30pm Created final logo and emailed it to client 4:30pm - 5:00pm Call with client, recieved verbal signoff. Notes as simple as that can work wonders to explain what you have done and what you need to be compensated for. Dan @ [url=http://www.codetown.org]Code Town[/url] Loading...
