I'm sort of stunned here. No one in your office has even offered to write a letter to him? Sheesh. I could probably still get free of cheap legal help and I haven't worked for anyone in three years. Maybe it's a local thing.
Anyway, you need to write a letter. The letter should include the terms of the arrangement, that fact you've abided by the terms of the agreement and that he verbally agreed to abide by the agreement when you contacted him and that he's been denying any contact with you to resolve the matter. You should state that you expect to re-imbursed in guaranteed funds by, let's say, one week from the date of receipt of your letter and that you expect a response from him, advising you that he will be sending you the funds, by the end of that business day. You should say that if you don't get satisfaction you will take him to small claims court. Send the letter certified, return-receipt requested. (You can always ease up a bit on those terms but take a firm stance in the letter.)
Always, always, always send a letter first thing! (Or an e-mail but I'm not as crazy about those). All you have to say is "As per our conversation of (date and time)...(details)...Please contact me immediately if there are any questions or concerns." Fax it if you can but also always send the hard copy (certified and rrr if you if it's a dispute). If you're faxing it, add Via fax and US Mail at the bottom. If you do certify and rrr write that in the letter.
Any maybe someone at your firm will read it over for you at the very least.
