I Sued And Won But The Defendant Appealed

I’m gonna keep this as short as possible but i’ll answer any question asked.

Location: Central PA

I dropped off a PC for repair. Dude gave me a quote and a timeline. he went over the timeline and added a bunch of parts i didn’t ask for tripling the budget we agreed on. i complained about both issues, he started acting shady, i left a bad review. I run a gaming server that i was the only active admin on and a handful of players also left reviews. They’re all kids, it’s my fault for telling them what company it was when they asked i guess. That pissed him off and he refused to return my computer even with cash in hand. He said he couldn’t return it until i fixed the reviews on google but a few of the players that left them had since quit playing the server since my pc was out of commission for so long. I sued. small claims. i won. he appealed. this was almost 3 years ago. He’s playing the paperwork game, knowing that the cost for a lawyer to help correctly format all the necessary paperwork would cost more than i sued for. Can i hire a lawyer and then sue him again for the lawyer fees? can they be added in at the appeal hearing? i got some help from a family friend and i think i successfully filed paperwork to ask for a verbal hearing. What’s the best course of action here?
