Cease and Desist
Illinois
I am looking for an attorney to write a Cease of Desist letter.
I had a verbal agreement with the video editor to edit a documentary. Per the video editor, the agreement was that he would edit the videos and complete the documentary, and if I liked it, I would pay him, and if I didn't like it, I didn't have to pay him. I gave him the script for an hour-long video. He completed a two hours video; he did not use the script; he put whatever he wanted, and now he wants me to pay him triple the amount of money we agreed. Now he is threatening me if I don't pay him; he will publish all the videos online and put on all social media that I did not pay him. I agreed to pay him the amount previously discussed, never said I wasn't going to pay him.

Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Are templates for independent contractor agreements okay?
I am an independent contractor and am currently in the process of negotiating a new agreement with a client. I am trying to understand the implications of using a template agreement, as opposed to having an agreement written specifically for our situation. I want to ensure that I am protecting my interests and that the agreement is legally binding.
Shelia H.
If you are considering using a template for your independent contractor agreement, you should view it as a starting point. It can be a good way of finding boilerplate provisions that are going to be in just about every agreement. Unfortunately, because they are templates, you run the risk of leaving out important details that may apply to your situation. Additionally, the template might not go far enough in protecting interests that you specifically need to have protected. Think of it this way. Template agreements are usually so general, they will probably be valid in almost every state. Consequently, by being general, they usually leave out key details that would apply in your situation but not in other contractors' situations. You should always consider having an attorney review your agreement to make sure that the agreement meets your legal needs and that it is legally binding in your state.

What should I do? How should I proceed this situation.
Hello, I sign a sale contract to buy a dog with a purchase of travel cost. The sales person received a payment and started the process to ship the puppy. But it came a hiccup when the puppy to small to be in a crate that was not secure. The airport was trying to charge 1000 to 1500 which the sales person did not have and wanted me to pay it. I could not pay it and the sales person could not supply the crates from a local store. So we made a agreement he would pick the dog up from the airport and refund the money back. It has been 6 hours and the sales person did not refunded and now I can not get in touch with him. What should I do
Jane C.
Do you have a written agreement? Does this agreement deal with what happens in the event that either party breaches the agreement? How did you pay? If you paid by credit card, you can call and cancel payment.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
