If you do speak to a lawyer, bring up the possibility of getting a debt collector involved. I've worked with debt collectors before, and lawyers often know some really good ones. It might be in both your best interest and the lawyers best interest for him to pass the work onto the debt collector, take the commission, and to have it done with. The last time I worked with a debt collector, the client initially wouldn't pay the full price for the work we did for them. The second the debt collector was involved they couldn't wait to pay us. By the end of the day, all sides had their money, and all sides had moved on.
