If the agreement has been rendered impossible for a party to perform with no fault of their own then there is no legal justification for them to keep your money. That is called unjust enrichment.
If they are also in WV and the amount owed is under 10K sue them in the small claims court.
If you feel you need clarification, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section): http://www.americanbar.org/groups/delivery_legal_services/resources/programs_to_help_those_with_moderate_income.html
