what courts do I use ?
My company preformed work for a customer and she did not pay. I am talking her to court. My question is do I take her to court in the city the work was done in or do have I have to file out of the city my office is in? or would it be the city the customer lives out of because we did work on her renal house.

Your company is the plaintiff. The party you are suing is the defendant.
A lawsuit can be filed where the plaintiff resides or where the defendant resides or where the incident giving rise to the lawsuit occurred.
For convenience purposes, such as filing documents with the court, court appearances, etc., it would be advisable to file the lawsuit where your company is located.
