    Do you have a contract?

    Have you communicated with the employer to find out why they are not paying you what they were supposed to?

    If you are an independent contractor, there isn't much you can do except file a complaint in small claims court if sending him invoices doesn't work.

    If you are a regular employee, on the payroll, then go to your states department of labor website and file a claim for unpaid wages.

    Try to work it out first before you do anything.

    Do you have a written contract specifying the rate? If so and you're in the US you can take him to small claims court, you don't need a lawyer for that.
