Do any creatives work with attorneys? I’ve had some repeat issues in my freelance career —non payment, getting my credits removed, not being able to access high res files of projects I worked on, people on teams I’ve left trash talking me after I’m gone, the works.

From what I understand these are reasonably common issues but I’m introspecting and wondering how to protect myself better from this in the future.

Wondering if anyone has ever hired an attorney as a creative and how that went ?

I did some freelance work for an attorney who specialized in copyright law and guess what. She never paid her final bill. Tried to hunt her down and she kept dodging me so i finally gave up. Wishing you better luck than mine in this situation!

They pushed back.
