Yes. Contact the clerk in your county courthouse. Most have a checklist of forms to use for suing in Small Claims Court. Nolo Press has some good books on this subject that might be helpful.

You can file a lawsuit yourself without an attorney in Justice of the Peace Court. These small claims courts are located throughout Delaware. You can find one near you by looking up the addresses and phone numbers in the blue pages in the phone book in the State Government section under Justice of the Peace Court.
