You have a legal issue, not an income tax issue. Since the work was done on your personal residence, the cost is not deductible. And as @Critter-3 pointed out, there is no requirement for a 1099 in this situation. If you want to pursue this, I agree with @Anonymous_ that you need to contact an attorney. Of course no one here can tell you what that might cost.
