Question: 

I am trying to obtain information on how to process a small claim regarding a friend that borrowed $5,000 with an agreement to pay me back within 3 weeks. Its been almost 3 months and he hasnt paid me back anything. But i see him spending money and other friends told me, hes spending unnecessary.. That they know he has my miney, but just doesnt want to pay me back. Tells me he has nothing from me. I have a 2yr old baby and am now about to lose the roof over my head and need to get my money back that he refuses to pay me back. He just opened a New business also. I need guidance and information on how to put a claim in against him to get my money back. Please help me in letting me know how i can proceed in submitting a claim against him. Thank you!

I think that the very best

I think that the very best thing you can do is to have a full discussion with a local attorney. It will cost you money for the filing fee and for service of process, to start a suit against him. Perhaps a demand letter from an attorney will get this person's attention.
