A lawyer who specializes in civil litigation can assist you. There are two issues of which you should be aware: (a) it is possible that the firm with which you dealt is insolvent and will not be able to pay you, even if you win in court; and (b) the cost of legal fees to prosecute this claim may be disproportionate to any possible recovery.
It is not possible to state your chances of winning or the amount of time it will take. It is certainly impossible to predict whether the defendant has the resources to pay you. You will need to consult with your own attorney to resolve those issues.
