Depending on which state you purchased the cart in, the lawyer should be licensed to practice in that state (so if you purchased the cart in FL, get a lawyer there). A general civil practice or consumer law attorney will be able to help you (as well as business or contracts lawyer).

Re: Denied item purchased or refund

Where is the company? Where was it to be delivered? It is easiest to sue in either place. You should find a lawyer in the area of where the suit will be filed. It is such a small matter at issue, you don't want one that will need to travel any distance. Any trial attorney should be able to handle the matter -- it is a simple breach of contract action. If the documentation is good, you can probably do it yourself in small claims court. Learn your lesson . . . . never pay in full up front.
