Can I go after an unlicensed contractor for not completing a job criminally?

TennesseeLicenses

We hired a contractor and his company. He stated he can do it all. Literally the name of his company. He promised us a completion date. We went right past that date by over two months when we finally came to an agreement to part ways with the agreement that he would pay us back money. He paid a small amount back but refuses to pay any more back. They also got our electricity illegally. They were extremely shady about everything. I have text messages and a recording of things. I have pictures. I have paperwork. I want these guys in jail and my money back. This is not ok that they are walking around with no repercussions of their actions. We did find out they are not licensed and are still working on other peoples houses.

You have to inform the District Attorney for your city or county. They have the authority to bring the criminal charges. You do have the right to pursue monetary damages in a civil court action.
