If your personal vandetta is strong enough, you could represent yourself and only pay a few hundred in filing and court fees. It's fairly common to do that in small claims court so the judges are used to shmucks. And I would be shocked if Google/Lenovo spent money on lawyers for a case this cheap, they'd probably lead with a settlement offer for $2k or whatever.
- kelnos 5y agoSome states don't even allow lawyers in small claims court.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoHow does that work if the defendent is a corporation? Google could only hire a paralegal to represent them?
- steelframe 5y agoFor anything small claims Google would most likely settle as a matter of policy. The instant you file, you've already cost the company way more than the max judgement you can get in small claims.

- Nextgrid 5y agoSmall claims court is very easy & straightforward in the UK. The low complexity of the cases and the relatively low stakes means representing yourself is a valid strategy.
- kingcharles 5y agoHaving spent years in court, I would guarantee once you serve Google they will just get a local-ish law firm to turn up and represent them at any cost. And the lawyer will probably know the judge. And judges universally HATE unrepresented (I hate the terms self-represented and pro se) schmucks.
