Check Payment Dispute Resolution

Summary

Receiving a check for a job without a clear agreement on deadlines or guarantees is unlikely to be considered theft. However, if charged with theft, it is crucial to consult a lawyer for defense. Lack of written communication or emails about the job can complicate the situation. Consider discussing the case with a local attorney to clarify the agreement and address the charges effectively.
