Hello fellow life care planners.

Happy Holidays ~

I have a situation where I completed a lcp and counsel used my work product but never paid. I typically work retainer to retainer, but this case referral was unusual, I received the initial retainer, and I trusted them to pay at the end of the rush file, so I own that. Yes, I know, one cannot trust attorneys to be honest and pay experts. Not a new concept but nevertheless here I am w/ this.

I did not give permission for counsel to use my work product. Coupled w/ nonpayment, how do I excuse myself from the case and do I notate the nonpayment in some fashion?

On a side note, I understand that even w/ signed contracts attorneys cheat experts. Hiring an attorney to get an attorney to pay is, as the attorneys know full well, not financially viable to pursue, which begs the question, how can we as a professional's guard against this?

Is there a business opportunity in a certified lcp'er whom can assist in collections for an unpaid lcp book of work?

Please offer up your opinion (s) as able and thank you kindly.
