READ THIS FIRST: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop reading now.

RESPONSE: If there's no written contract or verbal agreement, you are responsible for paying him a "fair" value for the service he performed. Of course, the two of you will likely have different views of what is fair. To resolve it, you might have to take a trip to small claims court. Your local courthouse can provide you with information about this. (There are no attorneys in small claims court).
