Wow it's crazy out there.
So I've been working on a 3-month contract and it ended April 25th. So they asked me if I would work on a monthly contract and I agreed. So yesterday when I got back from The Derby, there was no contract waiting for me.
So I sent them an email asking what the story was and they sent me a letter saying to continue working and billing and that a contract would be Fedexed today.
So I sent back an email that I would wait for the contract to do any more work, which seems reasonable to me. Who works without a contract?
So now they just sent me an email saying that they changed their mind, implying that I was being difficult, and they said there won't be a contract coming after all.
Who do they expect to find to work without a contract?
Maybe you should have not worked and just kept quiet and seen if the
contract arrived.

I have been burned (as in not paid) for not having a contract, so I think
you did the right thing.

I should have, but I didn't know it was going to be an issue. The email wasn't meant as an "in your face" response, just a "i'll wait" response.
Rereading the email I sent, it could have been more flowery, but still, I could never go into court to get paid without a contract.
The contract was supposed to be an extension of the previous contract, so why was it "in legal" for two weeks?

Maybe the lawyer's contracts were waiting to be signed, too.
