Re: My employer did not pay my wages

The correct court is 'NY City Civil Court'. That court will handle claims up to $25,000.00.

You need a notice and complaint with service. As a small point, 'workers compensation' is an area of law covering workers injured while working. Your case is a contract case and that is why you are quoted huge sums to represent you.

I would be happy to assist you in this action for much, much less than you have been quoted.

For example, I can draft all of your filing documents for $300.

You are welcome to a consultation for no fee.
