Aimee, DO NOT talk to this fellow on the phone unless he agrees that the call can be recorded. (Michigan is a 2-party consent state if my 10 second legal research skills are correct.) Otherwise, tell him you want everything in writing from now on.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. That is funny.

Trust my rage
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(that's me laughing at the asshat law student. If he's stressed over $80, or even $1000, wait until his student loans come due. loser!)

Actually, that's just about right. Now let's see how he does with the Ethics part of the bar exam.

Everything by email, baby.

Aimee, just write him back and tell him that whatever agreements he had with other parties does not relieve him of any obligations with regard to the agreement between the two of you, nor do any of those outside agreements amend your contract with him. Lather, rinse, repeat the amount he owes you and when you expect it to be paid, in full.
Law students... oy. ::sings "Why can't they be like we were, perfect in every way..." since I was one once::

Oh Aimee, what a lot of fuss and bother!
Sparky is absolutely right. The core-nubbin (read: only salient) point here is that his problems are not your problems.
He made choices that put himself at risk. HIS choices do not change anything about your agreement with him.
It's so easy to get pulled off track by that emotional drivel he's peddling but the simple truth is the simple truth. This sucks for him. lalala.
