Illinois has long counted on the unions to regulate the building business but my guess is this guy has never had an IBEW card. As I said before, you probably need a lawyer. Any competent electrical professional knows this hack is lying to you.
At the end of the day you are going to be hiring a qualified person to clean this mess up and I hope the lesson of the low bid was not too expensive.
Your only recourse might be through the licensing people. (assuming this hack even has a license).

I suppose the lesson might actually be to add "all work shall conform to the NEC" Even if we set the wayback machine to 2008, the concerns you have are non-conforming.
