Small Claims Court for Payment — Pennsylvania

I'm dealing with a situation in Pennsylvania and need some guidance.

crypto exchange froze my withdrawal. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $27,994. I have tried contacting their legal department 3 times with no resolution.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
