If they haven't paid you for 7 months, and aren't returning your phone calls nor emails, they probably aren't planning on paying you.
If it's not a lot of money, forget about it, tell them you aren't doing anymore work for them, stay on top of things better next time, and move on.
If it's an amount of money that justifies chasing, I have had luck showing up physically at people's businesses. If you can't do that, I guess a lawyer is your only option.
Not to be a downer... but you probably aren't ever going to see this money. They may not have it. Maybe you can offer to take some of it a bit at a time rather than wopping them with a thousands of dollar bill at once? But be careful about doing any more work of them of course.
