I know the DBA isn't really much of anything but I plan on Trademarking the name and Incorporating the business within the month. What kind of recourse legal or non do I have as far as getting this domain name without having to pay an arm and a leg?

I'd like to note that the fucker has the wrong Who IS information
Looks like he got dibs on that name first. You should get another business name now or he may decide to take legal action against you, if the both of you are really using the same name for the same type of business.
