    Get a lawyer to threaten him.

    Give him a friendly reminder that using those testimonials is illegal (those testimonials were giving to you to use not him). If he doesn't remove them within a certain time frame as well as your copy you will be bringing this to the attention of his web host, the people who gave the testimonials as well as filing a DMCA complaint. Bottom line is those testimonials belong and are owned by the people who gave them and they gave you permission to use them, not him. They own the copyright to those testimonials and will need their permission to use them.

    Do you have Copyright? If you do, then that's what you can use against that employee.
