Then, shop around to see if you can get a lawyer to take your case. Keep a written log of your efforts to get an attorney. Visit

Also, visit EJC's free legal clinic.
If you cannot get a lawyer, ask EJC to review a small claims complaint before you file it be sure you are asking for all the relief you are entitled to.
