Legal recourse against tenant that did damage and left

[Gabriel Miller]

Hello friends,

I have some tenants that left my rental with a fair amount of damage.  They left without contacting me and or paying last month rent.  I have copies of their drivers licenses and social security numbers.  Should I try to sue them?   If so, who should I hire to help me?   

Thanks, 

Gabe

How much damage? For amounts less than $5k you can do small claims court.
