Look, Despite the poo poo he is pulling- like someone else posted- he wrote you a check and that acknowledges his debt to you. He created evidence. You need to contact your bank and get those checks, or receipts of those checks. Also have the intern legal research prepared and the recent ruling in the NYtimes. Also mention the IRS statement misclassification. Do your research on contacting the IRS, Small Claims Court, and gathering the evidence. He will pay you in the end. It sounds like he just wants to jerk you around, have some long winded phone conversation about how he changed his mind and you disappointed him and if you suck his dick a little bit he will pay you what he should. So you can stroke his ego and get your money (but lose your position and respect) or just come in strong and acknowledge you won't get the money now, but can hurt his reputation and legally damage him.

You are going through all the right steps. The only thing I can think of is that he will pay you after you talk to him, acknowledge that you screwed him over, and kiss his ring. He wants to feel like he is getting something (other than your loving labor/services) to pay you with. That is why he cancelled the check. He realized he should try and gently caress with you a little bit.

Can you post the full letter ? With out of context quotes we can't really fully understand the situation. Take out your personal info of course.

So you didn't sign any contract right? All of your agreements were verbal?

I think what he is counting on is that since your agreement to be paid was verbal he can say that his was verbal and that cancels yours out or he can force your hand. But you having these checks that he stopped payment on is evidence and a pretty simple breach of good faith. I'm not a lawyer but any rational judge will see right through what he is doing.

Re-reading the original post: You are saying he is your client. He is saying you did an internship. Which is it? It doesn't sound like an internship at all, but in his head he thinks you were his intern.

Ok because the OP kind of starts us off in the middle of the dream. We really have only hear things from your perspective. Don't second guess yourself now or anything but if you wouldn't mind writing out how this all happened exactly from day 1 I wouldn't mind reading it.

Sounds like he considers this his version of "bleeding you" by battling you for the money. Even if you win, it will be pyrrhic victory. The judge will sentence him, he will delay- etc, etc until the money is literally pried from his fingers 1 year from now.
