The lawyer normally works, but sadly, once you get this far, they might be running on vapors. Good luck with it. We haven't had many of these over the years with my agency, but it's sadly non-zero. Long term, we have more than made up for it, even with former employees giving us referrals or work with their new companies over the years. I know a few who have got put in bad situations when the company ran out of money and couldn't pay them either. Bad deal.
Thanks Jeff. We have attempted the payment plan but he is just ghosting us.
They were paying on schedule, invoices were rendered bi-weekly to avoid this kind of situations.
We're bringing a lawyer in to send them a letter.

Unfortunately, we learned this person has been following this practice with other vendors in the past too. Seems like a pattern.
Good luck and lawyer up then. Make sure you add damages to what is owed if you have to go to court. Might be worth reaching out to other vendors too.
