The client ,one of the top sales agents for Harry Norman realtors in
Atlanta, ended up short changing me for $1500 on the final payment
after the item had been delivered .

Beautiful work, as always.

You know, Mike, it's 99.99% of real estate agents that give the
other .01% a bad name. My sympathy, but not surprise, at your
misfortune.

Thanks Scott, It is they that have to live with it ,personally it
would irk me every time I saw the piece.......

I had a client that didn't want to pay me the balance on a job. They kept
putting me off and putting me off.
Finally, I had enough and took a day to collect. I went to their office
about 9:30am and told them I was there to pick up my check. The receptionist
said the owner wasn't there to sign a check and that i would have to come
back. I told them, No problem, I'll wait.
I had my lunch packed, so I sat down and waited and waited. I had alrady
checked with the PD and asked what they would do if called to remove me and
they told me it would be civil matter and do nothing but recommend that they
pay me. So about 6pm I was told they were closing and I would have to leave.
i told them I was going no where without a check and they could lock me in
there, but I wasn't leaving.
They threatened to call the cops and I told them go ahead and that I had
already spoke with them and told them that they said it was a civil matter.
Needless to say, about 7:30-8:00 someone miracliously came up with a check
and we all went home and that was the last job I did for that design
