I can't send a rep in court for me. I live in Richmond so this is no biggie for me. Unfortunately, a plaintiff can't recoup time lost in the small claims action. I am just trying to recoup my loss for the signing that was not paid for.
If you require a representative, then the venue for the action would change. This means you would need a lawyer to present your case.
I know that this can present pain for reps who may be in another state or another city. But the venue, as per a couple of my attorney friends, is where the contract was entered upon. It changes in cases of if the company is Inc and if it is a foreign corporation as opposed to a California corp.
The only thing that I have done is that if the company is located in California, I will accept the signing, but if the co is located somewhere like NJ, or some other locale, I will turn it down without a thorough background investigation.
