Client is not paying full amount for professional services already rendered. Initial proposal offered price +/- 15%. Actual project costs were +15%, even though price discounts were later applied to off-set cost increase. For reasons that seem to change, client is refusing to pay the remaining balance which equals the +15%. We are withholding a final report until he pays. The final report is very important to this client - he faces State fines without it. Our position has always been that we'll release the report as soon as he pays his bill.
