{"title":"Freelance designer vs. NYC marketing LLC — $4,800 unpaid","blurb":"Jane Q. Doe is a Brooklyn-based graphic designer who completed a full illustration package for Acme Widgets LLC's Spring 2025 product launch. She delivered every file on time on March 1, 2025. The client's own operations manager emailed to confirm receipt and said it looked great. Then — nothing. The Net-30 invoice came due on March 31, 2025 and was never paid. Two follow-up emails and two phone calls later, the client stopped responding entirely. Jane has four pieces of evidence: a signed services agreement, the invoice, the email thread showing delivery confirmation and subsequent silence, and her own dated notes from the phone calls. Total owed: $4,800.","intake":{"plaintiff":{"name":"Jane Q.
