Answer

Nothing. The plaintiff in a small claims case does not have the ability to appeal the decision; only the defendant does. The best you can hope for is that the defendant appeals, and then you'd have another chance to argue your case in front of a different judge. (The result could be better, the same, or even worse.) At that point, you could also have an attorney if you'd like. However, if the defendant doesn't appeal, you're pretty much stuck with what you've got.

Answer

I agree with Ms. Darrow. You cannot sue again either.
