What to do when confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements are violated?

Question Details:

I hired a freelancer for a small part-time job. He violated agreements that I had him sign regarding confidentiality and non-disclosure.  He did this by contactingbya  clientand spreading gossip. How can I protect myself other than having these two agreements on file? I hope he doesn't start a small claims court case. He signed a confidentially/non-disclosure form, as well as a freelancer's agreement. It is a small business, an audio transcription service and I wish to make sure I am not harassed further.
