A: much more info needed.

you need to contact a business lawyer who does civil litigation in your area........i handle DUI's and Accidents in Palm Springs area....however i suspect they will all require a retainer and bill on an hourly basis....

you should write out a summary of the facts that is easy to understand as civil lawyers usually charge on an hourly and you don't want to pay a lawyer to play secretary.

if you had a contract with them, did it require you have insurance? is that standard in your industry.

if the amount in dispute is less than $10,000 consider small claims.
