Small claims court often works, depending upon jurisdiction.
Where I am there is no forced disclosure, no costs costs assigned, and it is $150 to file.
And while a lawyer can represent a large firm, an employee has to be present, and the lawyer cannot use excessive legalise, the court is carried on in plain language... with the judge expaining things to you if you don't userstand.
That's pretty accessible.
The biggest risk is not knowing about no required discovery, and costs. Lawyers for big corp will ask for things, and hope you work your tail off. I just say no.
They will also elude to how expensive this will be, to which I typically snort.
Said large companies typically spend 50k to 100k on lawyers, and I spend $150 and a dozen or two hours of my personal time.

All very amusing.
Anyhow, a good equalizer.
