I hadn't thought of the lien thingy. How does that work against a company? I'm not sure I have ever heard of it either.

If I performed contracted construction work on a building, and was not fully paid, I could, and did, occasionally put a "Mechanics Lien" against the title. The structure could not be sold until this was addressed. I'm thinking that you may have some type of similar recourse on the "resale" of your work. Often there is little, or no initial lawyers fee to briefly inquire.

Other wise, a simple Small Claims judgement might be obtainable, done very similar to "Court TV" shows. A small filing fee at the courthouse and the courtday is set. Whoever is being "sued" basically needs to appear in their own defense or risk automatic judgement.

It wouldn't hurt to be familiar with these procedures even if this never goes any further. It is really has become part of modern overall income strategy, the back-up part.

If all this doesn't work, trade similar work favors with two buddies to also dress in camo. Have them stand guard on either side of the CEO's door at Parade Rest, while you re-negotiate.

Arrive: Hut ,one, two, three ...Hut, one, two, three. Paaraade ....Rest!

Snap them to Attention (Atten ...HUT!) whenever the Kelly guy says anything not in your best interest. If it goes well, have everyone briskly salute him when leaving. By then he might salute back, purely out of relief that it's over.

Cheers,
Wes
