Hey thanks for your insight...I need to get it from a construction perspective....
The $ amount is a little over$5,000.
I'm gonna see a lawyer on this.
Here's the situation.....
By profession I'm a High School Teacher, My hobby is restoring old wooden boats ( Like Chris-Craft runabouts)
This guy had the slip next to me and admired my inlay work on the boat.
He asked me to do a inlaid compass rose in the entryway on a lake house he was building. I did the job over the summer. He just never paid me.
I'm concerned that he knows that I'm not a Licensed sub and has blowen me off

See the lawyer. One question is, did he hire you for his company or for work on the home? If it was corporate work and the corporation went bankrupt, you may get cut off. If you did work on the house, you will most likely file a mechanic's lien on the property that was improved. Selling his home to his son for a dollar to get assets out of his name isn't going to do him much good. In the law it is called an illusory transfer (deceptive transfer), and the court will most likely set it aside and let you attach the asset. Your best bet is to see a lawyer to collect your money, what you need to do is kind of hard for a non lawyer to do by himself.
