Stiffed by Doctors. What would you do?

How many independent contractors here ever been stiffed by a doctors' office when you didn't have a written agreement? Just did business on a handshake? What did you do to collect payment or did you ever collect payment? I'm being stiffed and know I won't take this sitting down. I worked too long, way too hard. Invoice is teetering 7K. Any help/advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Several of us took them to small claims court. We were able to get paid, but it took awhile. Those that would not go to court never got paid anything.

Whan an employer stiffed me for $$ a number of years ago, (sm)
I reported them to California Labor Board. They in turn tore the office apart, found more labor & payment (as well as tax) infractions that employer, put them out of business, and oh, YES - they got me my money. :)

Get in touch with your State's LABOR BOARD. Years ago I got stiffed....(s/m)
out of one paycheck (that bounced), plus the employer had been lying to me for almost a year about my health insurance! (Was taking $$ out of my paycheck to pay for insurance, but instead kept it for herself.) I went to the Labor Board, paid a very nominal fee to file, and all I had to do was write down what happened, and that I wanted my money that I'd earned, plus what I'd paid for "insurance." Not only was I paid (fairly promptly, too!), but they went into that office and tore it apart, finding many more labor infractions. Business was shut down, and I believe she did some time in jail. Even if I hadn't gotten a time, that alone would've been worth the filing fee!
