There is no "Legal fees" when a "Court Action" has not been taken yet!
What you need is a Lawyer to write them a simple letter of "intent to take up legal action" if they dont refund the money.
That should not cost more than two thousand naira, at most!

it is only when they refuse, that your Lawyer would now institute a legal action in a court of Law.
Again, ask the Lawyer for a "Prono Bono" arraingement (No win, No fee).

if he is sure you have a "good case" and he will win, he will agree!
At the end, he will add his fees (+about 25% more) to whatever relief he is seeking from the court.

If he wins, he gets 30% of whatever you are granted by the court. Simple.

Bro thanks for your explanation, but fees are fees whether you are paying just a little something or paying a whole lot. My point is, spending additional money to get back that money, is really not it except of course there'd be profit Anyhow, advice taken. I'll give them till mid next week and if no show, they'll be getting some pretty stiff correspondence from me.
