A: Seek an attorney. Civil law is not intuitive - there are a lot of rules and procedures you need to follow just like an attorney; you cannot succeed on merit alone. And it's not about being competent: lawyers spend years in school, and even longer in practice mastering all the rules and procedures. If you are asking this sort of question, you cannot do this on your own without great risk of losing what may be a legitimate claim.
