[APG Public List] client who ignores billing

[LBoswell]

and the other suggestion I meant to make was to break up the research into 
smaller chunks, with payment expected at the end of each one.  You mentioned 
40 hrs.  I wouldn't do that amount of research in one go.  I require 
periodic payment as the research proceeds.  Maybe 10 hours worth, then a 
summary report and payment for that portion. That way the person is 
constantly building a stake in the project as it proceeds.

It also gives the client a chance to suspend the research for a period of 
time, for financial or other reasons.
