State of California.
After a contract dispute, an agreement was reached out of court between myself and the lawyer representing a former client. They agreed to pay the outstanding balance owed to me.
Now the lawyer is coming up with excuse after excuse on why he hasn't yet sent the money to me, stating that he has higher priorities to deal with at the moment.
This has been a painful process lasting months and my patience has run out. What can I do to get the lawyer to hold up his end and pay me?
