Basically, three attorneys that I consulted with told me to go file a complaint and the case would be taken in front of a board of arbitrators. To my understanding, it's only going to civil arbitration because I am asking for less than 25k, and a complaint in front of a board of arbitrators is supposed to be the most efficient method in this matter in order to get a judgment for the amount being sued against them.

Maybe if I was asking for more in damages it would have to be done differently? Thanks for your replys.
