eh, depends on how you do it. if you lay it out straight up beforehand that you won't take any crap, then you look like the one with the bigger set, and he can take it or leave it.
I say decide upfront that you will only work for x dollars with y amount upfront (hopefully as close as you can get to 100%). You reserve the right to bail at any time if you feel threatened in any way, and that you won't hesitate to bring the law in if you are threatened in body or in property. Get this in writing, signed, and notarized if you want. Make sure you make him understand that you are in charge of the sessions, and that difficult behavior will only make him lose time and money.
Decide these things to yourself upfront, have a stiff drink, then call him and and tell him how it is. He's coming to you, so you have the upper hand. It is now his job to court you for your expertise, so congrats! you are in the best position!
