How precisely do you reckon a lawyer would help?

The legal Deparment runs most companies . They are the only way to get something bespoke done (like unlocking an account ). And companies are terrified of discovery.

Any lawyer can file a complaint in small claims . OP has paid for a service and has a contract

TOS is binding to both parties .

Didn't they boot him for a ToS violation?

No, in many states _no_ lawyer can file a complaint (except his own) in small claims court.

		They booted him for TOs violation, that was their action. A judge can decide whether that action was a breach of the contract, or if the contract itself is lawful. We live in a common law country. It means that the judgement defines the law, not contracts (and not even statute, strictly)
