Subject: Legal Counsel for Unpaid Writing

Sirs-

I wanted to see if Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts might be able to help me to recover about $5,000 that I've been owed by the publisher of an online political journal for a few years. The publisher in question also owes substantial sums to a few other writers with whom I'm in contact.

I managed to track down the fellow in question, Vincent Garofalo, late last year by finding a Manhattan karate dojo where he now teaches, and managed to deliver a letter demanding payment; he eventually e-mailed back and agreed to settle, but has since stopped responding to further e-mails. I'd like to sue him, but I can't find his home address or other information that I believe I would need to do so, so I'm not sure how to proceed.

Please let me know if you might be able to assist me or would like further details on the situation.

Thanks,

Barrett Brown
