More details to this question:
I have a signed agreement from a person living in PA and the signee is delinquent in payments in the amount of $5,635.05. If he doesn't pay, I can endorse a summary judgement of $100k.

It would generally not be cost effective for you to hire an attorney to represent you in a small claims matter, but I really wanted to write you to warn you that any provision in your contract that you can obtain a $100,000 judgment if the other party doesn't pay you some $5000 is (without knowing all the circumstances) likely unenforceable as a penalty.
