then do it.

and MOVE ON. people spend WAYYYY too much energy on this BS,
and not enough on their careers. you'll be 65 and still talking about how this guy
ruined your career ...who cares. f*ck it. it's not worth it.

if he's completely got you hamstrung and you need to sue him - then go for it,
and make sure you have a kickass lawyer! it will almost certainly be a waste of time, though.

i say take some deep breaths, go to a yoga class - and then take your planned litigation money,
and spend it on marketing!!!!!!! (all that "hate him" energy can be spent on "love you" energy).

just a thought. good luck, whatever you do, and whatever happens...

Agreed. Any legal action you take will win the battle but lose the war. Legal action is all well and good in principal but what you'll find is that when people get wind of i, you'll have even less clients. I say that any client who walks away from you on here-ay is not much of a client anyway....

You've had a hard time but will have to move on from it. Is there nothing you can do to keep the peace with him? Surely there must have been some two way antagonism - unless he's a nasty piece of work!
