You can sue him for breach of contract and may be able to seek rescision of the contract.  That said, you'd have to pay him the fair value of the work he has done which would be less that the $350,000.  Might make sens to send him a demand letter before suing him to see if you can negotiatie a resolution before starting a lawsuit.  Feel free to contact me if you need help writing that demand letter or commencing the lawsuit agaisnt the contractor.   Best, Lou Russo lrusso@russolaw-llc.com at www.russolaw-llc.com
