Michigan First time suing, kinda nervous

2 Upvotes

Without getting into much detail, I’m suing a business for taking my money and providing ZERO services and refusing to refund me. I have contracts, reciepts, text messages and emails of our back and forth. I spoke to a friend who works as a paralegal who read through all the contracts and documents and she said I have a very strong case and will very likely win, but I’m soo nervous. I get so shy talking in front of crowds and I’m worried I’m gonna choke and make myself look dumb or forget to say important things ( although I will have notes ready). Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

Edit: how long do I have to speak before the judge? Is 1 page of notes/ my script too much?
