More details to this question:
The individual was going thru nasty divorce, spouse depleted their accounts, lost a thriving business, lost home, had to stay with a friend and left with nothing. When jailed due to child support, since he had no money, I bailed him out with the promise of repayment. I do have signed and notarized paperwork with guarantee. Although discuss payment arrangements, the individual has failed to repay back.

Yes, you can sue him for breach of an oral contract, but you must have proof of the loan as you have nothing in writing. You may find a lawyer to take this case, but it will be hard to find one that will take it on a contingency (percentage) basis, as getting money from this man may be impossible if he has none.
