Intentionally passing a bad check = fraud. You may able to get puntive damages against this guy. If the amount of money is anything considerable, you should consider suing him to try get your unpaid bills PLUS attorneys' fees. You might have a hard time finding a lawyer to represent you on contingency (they don't get paid until you do), but you have a good chance of making this deadbeat repay whatever reasonable sum you were forced to pay for legal counsel.
