Money Owed for Services

I was told that I could file my own complaint for money owed to me by one of my clients (I am a computer consultant). I did file (the actual complaint was written for me by an attorney I know). The attorney for the other parties filed a motion to dismiss and it was dismissed without prejudice. Since the amount of money owed is several thousand dollars I still want to pursue it. The attorney that wrote the first complaint for me must not be the right guy for me to go back to since his document was cut apart in the other attorneys motion to dismiss. I think the issues are not substantial. I am a sole proprietor and his complaint listed my business name (dba) as plaintiff and they said my business name was not an entity. Also, my attorney friend listed their company name and each of the two owners names. Their company is an LLC and they claimed that their company name was not an entity and some other jargon. Actual documents can be viewed at http://www.courtclerk.org/aps/ttl/lns/smcpb037.asp?04CV11043 .. I guess I want to get a different attorney to help me for another attempt. I am wondering what is the best way to find someone better to help me. Any suggestions, please? Thanks.

You might have to give up part of your claim, if it exceeds the small claims limit, but the rules are more relaxed. It might even be possible that the LLC would need to hire a lawyer if the manager isn't allowed to represent the company in court.

It's too much money to give up to take it to Small Claims instead of municipal court. The LLC has their lawyers and that is who shot down my first complaint.

Will your additional expense in going to a higher court be less than the loss incurred by going to Small Claims?
