There's not nearly enough info here to answer that - and if you want
to go down that road you should get professional legal advice - but I
strongly suspect that you've messed up in your choice of whom to
approach rather than a failure on their part to deliver what you were
expecting. Did you actually ask them to demonstrate expertise in PHP
consultancy prior to contract?
