More details to this question:
I won my lawsuit. The person broke a contract and owes $7000.00 due to fraud for sale of a house that he knew was in foreclosure. My lawyer says his part in the case is done and he does not return my emails or phone calls. The person who I won my suit just will not pay up. How do I get my money back? The person has not appeal and has had well more than 30 days to do so.

You have to go through the collection process. Unfortunately many judgments in NC never get paid. If your attorney is no longer assisting, you may want to speak to another attorney to see what collection of the judgment would take, Before suing, I usually do an asset search of the defendant and decline to sue if it looks like the judgment would never be collected.
