Before you hire a lawyer, I suggest attending their free seminar about filing a case with Small Claims court to get a judgment and enforce collection of monies owed you. They educate the public on the 'system': legal concepts, procedures, and resources you can avail of. They do not advise on specific course of action on individual cases.
You have to go there and ask them. They are the experts.
Possibly if you ratain an attorney through them. For questions id call state bar of nevada. They can point you in the rite direction.
