Sounds like you quit with no notice. If that is the case, and he never previously paid you $12/hour, I don't think you have much to stand on. Quiting with no notice trumps pretty much anything else in the eyes of most judge-types as you failed to honor an uwritten contract of giving notice. Why should he honor a verbal statement to increase your pay if you quit the same week it was to go into effect. Also, sounds like he offered the raise and it wasn't something the two of you negotiated for continued employment.

By the way, if it's not in writing it isn't worth much; witnesses aren't worth much in cases like this.
