You can sue for the court costs, cost of the attorney, lost wages, AND the cost of the check.

I don't know what the laws are in CA but in a lot of places your local District Attorney's office can help you collect a bad check or check with your clerk of court about small claims court or filing a judgment against them. I would check with those 2.

File a complaint with District Attorney. Passing a bad check is illegal. If he is facing jail time, he may come up with the money.
