If you can't sue them in small claims court, sue them in the "regular" civil division of your state or municipal court system. You would be well-advised to retain an attorney to help you--if it's more than you can sue for in small claims, it's worth an attorney; but if you don't want to that, you *can* still represent yourself. It's called being a pro se plaintiff, and while its not recommended, it is generally allowed. Below, I'm pasted a link to a Maine government website that contains alot of helpful information about the Maine court system, including some links germane to representing yourself in court; you can also ask the clerk of your local court, who at the least can provide or steer you to the correct forms. Good luck.Here's the link: http://www.maine.gov/legis/lawlib/prose.htm
