YOu can sue her in small claims court. YOu can do this on line. YOu can not hold her items -they belong to her and she could sue you.

No, not unless you have an agreement with her that says you can. I would suggest sending her a letter and giving her notice that if she doesn't pay, you will proceed with an action in small claims court. If you would like legal assistance in creating an enforceable contract for your techs, please do not hesitate to contact me. Regards,
