What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
If you are going to sue a large company with a legitimate claim, for a relatively small amount (hundreds or a couple thousand), are they more likely to settle deciding its not worth defending if you:
* Sue them in small claims, where they can send an employee to defend. (Michigan does not allow attorney representation in small claims.)
* Sue them in district court, where they would have to hire an attorney to defend. (Michigan, along with the rest of the country, does not allow an owner of a corporation to represent the corporation in court under the guise that would be practicing law without a license.)
Have successfully won district and circuit court actions, so am familiar with the form of pleadings and court rules. Just curious which a company would be more likely to throw money at, to make the problem go away.
