Hello. Just the usual you know. A client who asks gor work, sees it, doesn't want to pay, and… threatens to call the police? Yes that last part is real.

Its their call if they dont want to work together anymore… fair. We've been working together for almost two months. But there were some things I thought presented some engineering issues that I couldn't ethically gloss over. For pointing it out I was let go, without the last two weeks hous paid out.

I was working at reduced rate for equity, but apparently that is gone because the evaluation period extended to the first of next year.

But his last email requested I only contact him via my lawyer, which I dont have. I am not eager to play into any harassment claims, so I am not sending any more emails yet. I am just wondering what my next steps should be.
