My wife and I own an art gallery in Boca Raton, FL. We paid $27,000 as an advance to a contractor who promised to create various items for our gallery but failed to deliver. He has threatened to deport us and claims we owe him more money. We have witnesses and chat history as evidence. What legal steps should we take to report this and recover our money?

I am pro se and there was an arbitration final order. Opposing counsel asked the district court to confirm the award, claiming I had a fair arbitration hearing. I did not contest this statement, instead saying confirmation would be premature because I have 90 days to file a motion to vacate. Opposing counsel asked for a hearing, claiming I had not contested their claim nor provided evidence to contradict it. I objected to the hearing request by providing some evidence but did not file it as an amended answer. Is this too late? Did I blunder by not contesting the claim and not putting in evidence? I will file for leave to amend my answer even though it is late. Am I in trouble? Was I required to do more than just say that such a motion is premature because I have 90 days to file a motion to vacate? Can I lose my 90 days because I did something technically wrong?
