I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

client's check bounced after delivery. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $24,023. I have tried contacting their legal department 7 times with no resolution.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Did you send a formal demand letter? That often gets faster results than customer service.

Credit card chargeback might be an option if you paid that way.
