A:
This may be something that you can handle on your own. Be polite and professional but firm and assertive. You will want to summarize the relevant details in your case and list the damages (costs). Gather any supporting evidence or documents and get your facts straight.
Looking for guidance and examples online can help, such as this page (https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/small-claims-book/chapter6-4.html) I just found in a Google search.
You may find a lawyer who is willing to glance over your drafted letter in a free consultation and give you some feedback. It doesn't hurt to check with a couple of firms in your area.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A: As my colleague advises, this could be something you may be able to handle on your own. If you want to have an attorney handle it, you could supplement your own attorney searches with the "Find a Lawyer" tab above or the attorney referral pages of local and state bar associations. Both those resources fall outside this forum. Good luck
