My elderly father paid a guy a $5K downpayment to re-pave his driveway. (For his driveway, most companies would require a $1K downpayment and charge $6K total). Well, the guy never showed. I read reviews and saw that he had duped a lot of folks, lost in court, but apprently never paid. I decided not to take him to court, and told my father to just take the loss. But after reading your post, I'm sorry I didn't give it a go. Great job!
You may have done the right thing.
There was a case before mine, an elderly couple swindled by a landscaper who took a bunch of money, did a tiny bit of crappy work, then disappeared.
Landscaper didn’t show up at trial and they won a default judgement; but good luck collecting from a ghost.
