Suing ex property manager in small claims court

[Nat C.]

This post has 2 questions-

1. From the date I lodge an application, how long does it take to get a court hearing date in Las Vegas small claims court?

2. Do you think my case will win?

Background-

I hired a property manager for my condo. I asked them to deduct the HOA fees from the rent and pay to the HOA. I made this request via email and they replied in writing that they would deduct the funds from the rental income to pay the HOA. It was nearly a year later that I was contacted by a collections agency. They informed me the HOA fees hadn't been paid the whole time the property manager had had the place. I paid off the HOA fees ($1200) and then the fines and collection agency costs were a further $1300. I want the property manager to pay these fines.
