I have a signed independent contractor agreement for software sales. The agreement outlines the commission structure for different components of sales/deals closed. In early 2015, I was owed approximately $15k in commissions, and in early 2016, approximately $13k in commissions. The company explained to me that finances were in bad shape and would work with me to make the payments, asking if I would be patient. The last live conversation was in April of this year, with a promise to work out payment (again, me being flexible). Since then, they have not returned any of my emails, phone calls, or txts. I have LegalShield and they send a demand letter to the company which has also gone unanswered. LegalShield referred me to an attorney who advised me that if they bring the suit, it's highly likely that my legal fees would absorb the approximate $30k owed to me.
Would anybody be able to advise me how to bring the suit on by myself, for could help with the filing and then I take it from there? Or possibly advise on a good way to get their attention and be motivated to make the payment? Walking away from $30k just doesn't sit well with me.
Thanks in advance!!
