Re: Demand For Performance
From what you're saying, you may have an action against the agency for breach of contract. You should have an attorney talk with their attorney, you shouldn't really do it yourself.
I would be very interested in learning more about your case and seeing the documents (letters, etc.) that you have.
Contact me if you'd like to discuss it further and I'll see if I can help you.
