You can sue him in small claims court (Magistrate Court) for the $200 he owes you in the county in which the work was done. Your claim will be for BREACH OF CONTRACT. You will have to serve him with the lawsuit. If you go to the court clerk's office, they can walk you through this process.

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******

What is it worth in time and money for $200? Sure, you can sue and if you win, you should not expect him to just had you cash. You have to spend more time and money collecting. In addition, if he is serious about his allegations, he may counterclaim against you.
