As you inquired, another option you could consider is small claims court. I don’t practice in Oklahoma, but the Oklahoma State Bar website indicates you can bring a small claims court case for amounts up to $10,000. The website also indicates that “An individual may be self-represented in small claims; a company may be represented by an officer or full-time employee.” Thus, you could potentially save the cost of hiring an attorney or bring the case to small claims court even if you cannot find an attorney to take your case.
Also, while you might not be able to recover the entire $11,000 amount in small claims court, you would almost certainly spend more than $1,000 on a lawyer, so you could still come out ahead even though you cannot recover the entire $11,000 amount.
Please keep in mind that the language in your specific contract could have an attorney fee provision, arbitration clause, or other provision that could completely change this response. Also, keep in mind that I do not know any of the particular details of your case. Therefore, please do not treat this answer as legal advice specific to you or your case.
