Legal Question in Technology Law in Illinois

I designed two websites for a client who is now refusing to pay.
I was contracted to build a company website for a client and they agreed to a specific flat rate for specific services to be provided. In the middle of the project, the client requested that I design a second website for one of their clients and I agreed, again providing them a flat rate for specific services to be provided.
Once the sites were complete, the client accessed my server, took the sites and posted them to their personal server and is now refusing to pay and ignoring my attempts to reach them to obtain a reasonable settlement.
Since they took the sites - and are actively using them to generate revenue for their businesses - and refusing to pay, would this constitute Theft of Services? And what would be a proper recourse to receive payment from the client?

You need to consult with and most likely retain an attorney who can file suit on your behalf for damages.
