Re: non payment for work provided
Your remedy would appear to be to sue this withholder and promise breaker in small claims court for $650 which you can do for less than $40.
Re: non payment for work provided
Go to your city or county General District Court. It is the small claims court. Most parties do not have attorneys. File a Warrant In Debt. Bring any evidence and/or witnesses to Court.
