I posted this once before, but I think my experimentation with a new expire program may have nuked it before it saw the light of day... if this is a duplicate, my apologies. Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for an honest lawyer. At this point, as some have pointed out, a collection agency seems a better option. I've talked to a couple that confirmed my sleazy impressions, but I also found one that sounds quite upstanding. I had wanted to retain the ability to sue for legal expenses + amounts owed, so I wouldn't lose anything in the long run. However, after a conversation with a lawyer who (very honestly) stated that collecting after winning a lawsuit was half the battle, I decided to cruise collection agencies after all, & found one that sounds like it might work. If my certified letter doesn't do the trick (& I'll give anybody 5:1 odds it doesn't), I'll try them out, & report the results. I guess I shouldn't be so quick to ass-u-me that all collection agencies are sleazy, since I spend a lot of time trying to point out to people that just because I'm a headhunter doesn't mean *I'm* sleazy :-) . --> Options Unlimited Jim Johnson, CPC <-- --> Unix Personnel Services Internet: jjohnson@uujobs.com <-- --> Voice: (301) 587-2338 uucp: uunet!uujobs!jjohnson <-- --> FAX: (301) 585-4779 Compuserve: 72357,2473 <-- --> USmail: PO Box 11023, Silver Spring, MD 20913 <--
