Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

Thank you for your question. As this is a breach of contract case, you are entitled to seek your costs of suit, which would include filing and attorney's fees. I could handle this case for $750; meaning that you would seek a judgment of approximately $3,250 plus costs. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. [email protected]

Unless the contract has a provision for attorneys fees, they are not part of any recovery.

Either hire an inexpensive attorney or bring that code section to court.

Good luck.

Unfortunately, the attorney with whom you spoke did not advise you of Supreme Court Rule 282(b).

"No corporation may appear as claimant, assignee, subrogee or counterclaimant in a small claims proceeding, unless represented by counsel. When the amount claimed does not exceed the jurisdictional limit for small claims, a corporation may defend as defendant any small claims proceeding in any court of this State through any officer, director, manager, department manager or supervisor of the corporation, as though such corporation were appearing in its proper person. For the purposes of this rule, the term "officer" means the president, vice-president, registered agent or other person vested with the responsibility of managing the affairs of the corporation."
