If you had a signed agreement that he violated, you get the money by suing him for "breach of contract"--for violating the agreement. If you did what you were supposed to do, then he is contractually obligated to do his part and pay you. You can sue for wages based on breach of contract, too: even if the agreement was oral (unwritten), there *was* some agreement pursuant or according to which you were working--an agreement that he would pay you a certain wage or salary for doing work. If you did the work, he therefore must pay. If the total amount of money at stake is less than the limit for small claims court, then suing in small claims, as your own attorney ("pro se") is a fast, cost-effective option.
