Small claims court doesn't require an attorney, but you may want to call Eric to help you walk through this.

Make sure you include filing fees and other expenses of litigation when you make your claim.

You can get all the forms you need on-line at the Michigan Courts website:

Good luck!

You need to file a claim in small claims court. Go to district court (which one depends on jurisdiction of the court) and ask for an affidavit & claim, it should come with instructions. Feel free to call my office for further assistance. Best Wishes!
