Re: cant get paid

There are a number of statutes in Florida and federal law which protect you. You are entitled to be paid, and if he is not paying you you need to retain an attorney. These types of cases are usually handled on contingency, meaning you don't pay hourly, but rather only after you receive a settlement.

If yo would like to discuss this further, please contact me at your convenience.

Have you asked them? You may not need a lawyer. The fact that you don't have your hours does not mean you can't sue, but it does make it harder. Start keeping track.
