Agree with Grace.
But you needed them yesterday. Given the time required to get the court to move on this, you will see at least a month go by before any hearing at all. Your opponent has much deeper pockets than you. I would advise you to accept your current status and go get a job elsewhere to keep from going bankrupt. See if you can get the attorney to accept it on contingency. You will have to make it worth his while though, so see what he thinks it will cost and if that is more than the total they owe you, I think I would consider small claims court. For it to have gone on this long, surely it is not a large amount. You should never delay a business wrong being righted. You should get your attorney to write a letter demanding payment first thing.
Good luck.
