(I'm not an attorney so my advice is worth exactly what you paid me.)
Just so you know, suing everybody is not “thinking like a lawyer “ in the way I know you and others mean it. It’s 100% to avoid committing malpractice. If you miss a potential party and the statute of limitations runs you have committed malpractice

Anyway, if this were me…I actually represent ESIS, but regardless, this would not be worth my time given no injury and low dollars. You can take her to small claims court if it meets the dollar amount requirement but you’ll never collect that money. Been there done that.

And yes, if you’re not comfortable suing her pro se then good luck finding anyone that will handle this unless they need pro bono credit. My bill for just drafting the paperwork and filing fees would likely exceed the value of your claim. Bummer but most important is that you were not injured.
