Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

A four year statute of limitations is for a dispute based on a written contract. Do you have (aside from invoices) a written contract with these clients? If not, then the statute of limitations might actually be two years. I would suggest that you go back and bill the client for whatever they owe. If they voluntarily pay it, then great. If they don't, then you may not be able to go back and sue them for everything they owe based on the statute of limitations. You may want to contact them first to work something out, as being hit with an invoice for several years work is not going to go over well, and you may well lose them as clients. You'll have to evaluate what is best - hoping to collect the money, or losing a client.
