Complaint Review: Igor Klopov - Bukh Lawfirm

Igor and I had an established working relationship since July. I wrote web content, blog content, etc. for him and his clients, Arkady Bukh of Bukh Lawfirm, and Dr. Marina Gafanovich. Igor makes a habit of disappearing after leaving extremely vague instructions. In August his payments started to come in late, so I found other projects to work on, but continued to do content writing for him. 

On October 17th I got a Skype message, which I have saved, asking me to complete a batch of writing for Dr. Gafanovich's travel clinic website pertaining to the top 20 traveled countries for Americans and the CDC's recommendations for certain inoculations. I finished those, as well as law content and scripts pertaining to sex crimes common to New York City for Bukh Law Firm. 

Igor disappeared after I turned in 34 pages of content. None of my emails or Skype messages were returned. I had no idea what was going on until I got an email stating that he never ordered this content to be written and, "I din't sign any contract with you, so it was on a handshake." He is refusing to pay for the content. 

Igor Klopov owes me $1340 and I have proof. Obviously, legal action is being pursued.
