A: The amount of ten thousand dollars would be appropriate for concilliation court.
A:
Given the small amount of money involved, it would not likely be worth the administrative overhead of setting up the file even if you were paying the attorney on an hourly fee basis. And it's way too small for a contingency fee. Most very small cases like this (under $15,000) can be efficiently and effectively handled in Conciliation Court (which is Minnesota's version of a small claims court) without an attorney.
If you are unfamiliar with the concept, think Judge Judy or Judge Wapner of "The People's Court" on TV. Television rarely accurately portrays legal proceedings, but these shows are actually pretty close to what a small claims court is like in real life.
