Hypothetical question

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

contract has unconscionable terms. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 24 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $106,000.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

Small claims court update: filed my case, hearing is in 6 weeks. The filing fee was only $75 and I don't need a lawyer. The court clerk was actually very helpful in explaining the process. If your claim is under $10K (or $12.5K in some states), small claims is the way to go.
