You can only sue for up to $3k in small claims court, and depending on the court, many times they will not let businesses that are legal entities (corporations, LLCs, etc. - not d/b/a businesses) sue in that forum because it would amount to the unauthorized practice of law. You are correct that an $8k claim is not generally worth hiring an attorney, but that statement is also qualified by what lawyer you hire for your collection work. Many Michigan law firms and attorneys over-charge and over bill their clients for very basic civil work and easy lawsuits. Others seek 50% contingency fees on collection work. We do not do that at my law firm. I have a list of civil client referrals that will tell you how effective and efficient I am in my litigation practices, and how fair I am in my billing. I also get results. Please call my office for a free consultation and I assure you I may change your mind about collection practices and civil attorneys for small businesses. Paul J.
