Hal Lewis"Civil Conversion" is the legal term for what has taken place.
The cards were not "stolen" since you left them with him, but your contract proves that you still own them until he pays the price.
I don't think you would have any problem at all finding an attorney in Miami who would handle a simple "civil conversion" lawsuit.
Unfortunately, unless you mentioned legal fees in your contract (which is obviously unlikely)... you will end up having to pay your own attorney's fees.
Then again, he will incur fees as well.
