I'm going to go against the grain here and suggest that an attorney isn't needed for small claims at all. I've been through the proceedings, and it is remarkably easy. It's a plus to get a consultation if you can afford it (a free consultation likely won't cover what OP would find useful), but it really, truly isn't necessary. That's one thing I love about small claims... it's a really accessible way for people with little money to find some sort of justice.
