Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

If you performed the work and were not paid for it of course you have a legal claim irrespective of whether you entered into a written agreement. Without a written agreement it just makes it harder to prove out what is owed for example.

If the amount if not much more than 3K your best bet will likely be in the small claims court. You can also have a lawyer send a written demand for payment on your behalf.

Before you take any action, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your best course of action in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
