Re: small claim law suit

Small claims jurisdiction is $3000.00

Generally a contract is much easier to enforce in writing...only some contracts need be in writing.

Start your case sooner rather than later.

There is also an old aadge in contract law...:"He who trades his horse for a promise deserves to walk.

Good Luck
