How can I file suit against someone for $8500 without hiring an attorney?

I invested in a business to increase inventory. According to our contract the original investment plus 15% of the profit was to be paid when merchandise was sold. The merchandise has been sold but the other party refuses to pay the last 1/3rd of what he owes me. To hire an lawyer would cost the majority of what is owed, $8500. How can I sue myself and is there any legal people who can procedural/filing advise? Thanks
