Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

I worked with a client who asked that I have their current digital model files edited and then 3d printed (scope of work under $500 with no written contract). Before work was complete, proof of work was provided through images. The client agreed to that the proof matched their expectations, after which a 3d model was printed. After the work was complete, the client insisted that the work was wrong and not what they wanted, or would be willing to pay for. At this time I requested to end the business relationship. The client had a change of heart and expressed a willingness to pay for the work that was 3D printed as well as all associated files. After the client was provided with the physical 3D prints and files, exactly 1 month later they demand that I help them further refine the files and refund them. I declined, specifying that I provided all work through compressed and non-compressed formats. They are have now threatened to sue me; can they do this? If so what actions should I take?

Yes, they can certainly sue you, and if they do you should retain a good business attorney to deal with it. However, there is a chance that they are just threatening and that they will not actually file a claim. You can be proactive and hire an attorney to send them a letter to possibly preclude any litigation, but it would likely cost you as much as the amount in controversy.
