Do I have any legal recourse here?
A friend of mine asked me 2 months ago to help him with some masonry work. We agreed on $100 per day and he would pay me at the end of the month. I did 9 days work for $900. He always then had a reason he couldn't pay me, claiming he had not been paid for the completed job yet. After 7 missed payment deadlines, he eventually gave me $100, claiming the rest would follow 3 days later. That was 6 weeks ago. He now ignores all calls, texts and any reach of communication.
If it was $50, I'd let it go, but he owes me $800 which I have been waiting on for months.
Do I have any way to prosecute for the money?
Many thanks for any help.

If you have a written agreement you could take him to small claims court.
If you don't have anything in writing then the small claims court might still recognize the verbal agreement but your case is a lot weaker.
If I were you, I'd just look at it as though you paid $800 tuition in the school of life for a lesson about the importance of being careful who you trust and getting things in writing.
