I'd file already with small claims court. It is quick and painless.
It will then bring your stuff to the top and he will respond to you first and more than likely pay you first.
I have had to resort to using small claims several times in my life. I never lost a single case, though one I did not get the total judgment I expected but it was still fairer than anything else.
