Read the contract carefully and if you feel there is a breach, certainly sue them. Because the amount is under $3,000, you can choose small claims court even if you are a business, because this is an exception to the requirement corporations be represented by an attorney in court(assuming you are a corporation, of course)

If thy choose to bring in an attorney, you can too, but this is the starting place. I see you are in Livonia. Contact me directly if you have further questions. Thanks, Tim Klisz
