depends on the amount, you might be able to go through small claims court. I had that problem before for something like $800 bucks, and everyone told me to forget it, use it as a lesson and don't repeat the mistake.
I bought the domain name with the first/ last name of my client, and respectfully emailed him and let him know that he had 30 days to pay everything he owned, or I was going to use that web address to publish a blog, that will contain detail descriptions of our practice together during the project and that I was also going to include screengrabs of the emails, where he stated he kept mention he was going to pay me.
No insults, no lies, no exaggerations, just facts, and the next time someone googled his name, this site was going to come up first.
I got a call from him 12 minutes after I hit "sent" on the email.
He straight up insulted me and told me he was going take me to court, and that he decided that not only he was going to pay the amount he owed me, but he was going to spend it on a lawyer to destroy me.I let him finished his rant, and told him I got everything he said on tape. (which I didn't)
He hanged up.
He call me the next day, he apologised and that week I received my money, under the condition that I will never make that site public (which was never made).
I got my money, and will never do business with that guy again.
