I have not dealt with your bad client, but I have dealt with bad clients before. My advice is to accept that you won't get paid, move on, and find better clients in the future. Sure you can lawyer up, but it won't get you ahead and will be a distraction for a long time. In the future stop working when I client stops paying, because showing you are willing to work without being paid provides the client with a rationale for not paying you in the future. Good luck.
