Eric,

I hope this resolves to your satisfaction.

I want to mention that I have had two successful claims in small claims court over the last 20 years. The beauty of it was that neither time did I have to show up in court. When the other party got the summons, both times I got called and asked what it would take to settle the complaint. Both times I got what I wanted with little to no effort and then cancelled the court appearance. Generally if you are wronged and have the evidence, the other party will not have a leg to stand on and they usually know it. They won't take the time to defend themselves or hire a lawyer to do the same.

Remember, 50% of the people in this world wake up trying to figure out how to screw the other 50% out of their money.

As a side note, small claims usually has a fairly low limit on it. In my county it is $3000.
