Actually, all you can sue him for is for the return of the money you paid him for services which he did not render, and also gas and tolls IF you can prove that you paid those only because of his failure to render services (e.g. his breach of the agremeent, or contract, whether a written or unwritten/oral one, to provide services). There is no compensation in the law in cases like this for noneconomic losses, such as "messing up" your birthday.
