What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I recently lent a friend 1600.00 under a contract that I video taped the signing of in Florida. I have since moved to Georgia. Do I have to travel to Florida to file the small claim? Am I able to include travel expenses as a part of the payment to me? It seems like a very simple open and shut case, I can't imagine he would have a defense. Should I get an attorney anyways? I am worried about traveling back and forth, how should I go about this? Ever so grateful for any help!
Thank you!!!
