Sorry to hear about your issues, Unfortunately In my business I have to sue people all the time. 9 times out of 10 if you spend the $300 dollars to file the suite upon receiving notification he will settle. You will also be reimbursed your filing fees if you claim them along with damages in your suite, the other advise is follow-up all claims made with a paper trail and supporting docs and emails ( save everything related to your case this is your ammunition!) GOOD LUCK...
