Re: what are the statue of limitations on lawyers' payments
Assuming that the written agreement met all the criteria for a valid contract, a summary demand for complete payment(for which there is no provision in the agreement) when the client is compliant and still paying according to the installment terms which were agreed upon, would appear to be a breach of the agreement.
