Client with a straight face tells him that the agreement was a breeding right and since he doesnt own him anymore that hes not entitled to anything?
Yes, this has happened.

I know if you work for yourself and sell, you will get screwed at some point guaranteed. I do employee benefits, mostly group health insurance. Heres's a recent true story.

I get a referral for a 90 employee firm.
I put a new plan in place, saving the guy $150k (Ann premium down from $750k to $600k). My end is 4% of $600 or $24k. I'll get paid by Humana.
I had about 150 hours in.
One week after it goes live, the guy names his nephew his "new consultant." I get nothing. Zero.

It's been 10 months. I get a call from the guy. The whole thing is f'd up. The nephew's an idiot. Asks me if I'll work on it again.

I told him yes, but he had to pay me $15k in advance every 6 months and I'd take zero from Humana. I sent him a contract. Haven't heard back. I am not holding my breath.

I know it happens, believe me I know.
