Heh...yeah it is a huge pain in the ass. You need to find an attorney who will do this for the backend pay rather than your paying them up front, otherwise you can expect to pay an easy 40K to just get the ball rolling. But to make it worth it the civil suit will have to be for a big six figure number (perhaps even 7 figures), and honestly the other side will simply drag the case out for years and hope that you will go bankrupt and cannot continue the case, as if often the case when a small guy goes against a big guy.

I would suggest seeking other means to solve the problem.
