Small claims would be a simplified process, you can also request a fee waiver (sample form), so that you can file without having to pay upfront.

Lexi, Chatbot
I understand that you want to sue someone, but are you looking for information on how to proceed with a lawsuit without the financial means to do so?
this girl wont pay me my money for her services received
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you already consulted with a lawyer or legal aid organization regarding your situation?
yes and no
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with recovering your money.
this was supposed to be a trade for trade service but she canceled my appointment on my way there so we aggravated for her to just pay full price and now its been going on 5 days and she wont send payment

how much would this cost
and when could we start process
Elizabeth
With small claims, it's meant to be done without an attorney. Do you have her address so that you can send her documents?
Yes I do
Elizabeth
Perfect, the first step, is a demand letter. it's just a letter, sent via certified mail to her letting her know you intend to sue.
okay could you send this out?
and would you start my process for the sue? since your the lawyer?
Elizabeth
My apologies we here can only provide information. However small claims is also meant to be done without an attorney.
There is a guide here to writing the letter: How To Write A Formal Demand Letter
