I've been working with a 'friend' of mine on his website for the last year. I was paid by check which was sent to my place while I was traveling and lost track of which invoices were paid. After consolidating everything in the last month I realized that I haven't been paid for the last 7 months.
We had a contract that stated I could bill them monthly a max amount. I never heard negative feedback regarding my work, only positive conversation and full steam ahead. I took over the code a year ago from a development firm, and am the sole developer on the project.
All efforts of communication on my part have been met with radio silence. Emails, texts, phone calls have not been returned for the last 2 weeks.
What do I do now? I'm short of cash at this point and not sure bringing a lawyer in will help as they have significant more money than I do. Is it legal to revert all the code I checked in for the last 6 months long as it doesn't break anything?
Any advice would be appreciated.
