Client Refusing To Pay $22k For Work Already Done, Now Lawyered Up. What Are The Options? (ca)
My dad is an immigrant who has run his own small business for 25 years, never had a single complaint. He was hired for a project but halfway through the client stopped paying and accused him of scamming and overcharging. My dad stopped work as a result.
Original contract was $37k. My dad offered to settle for $22k for the work already completed. They rejected it and immediately hired a lawyer. My parents can't afford one.
Honestly I feel like they're taking advantage of the fact that my dad is an immigrant, doesn't have much experience navigating legal battles, and knows he has limited options. He got a free consultation and was told the fight would cost more than it's worth, so he's kind of accepted it. But $22k is really hurting my family and it just doesn't feel right to let them get away with this.
He has the original signed contract, all communication records, and documentation of the work completed. How strong is his case? Are there contingency attorneys in CA who take breach of contract cases, or any other affordable options for someone in his situation?
