I assume you mean to sue Pro Se. Type up a complaint and file it. But that's the easy part. If you are suing for more than $15,000 it has to be District Court and the rules are a lot more complicated. If possible, shoot for a lower court. The higher up you go the more demanding the procedures. When filing be very factual. In District Court you could actually wind up paying thousands for the other guy's in attorney fees if your suit is groundless and not proplerly prepared.

How are the state of Colorado courts structured?
The Colorado state trial court system consists of District Court, County Courts, Municipal Courts and Water Courts. Water courts have specialized jurisdiction over water rights cases in Colorado. There are seven Water Courts located in the state, each in a major river basin area. District Courts are the courts of general jurisdiction in Colorado. District Courts can hear any civil or criminal case, but generally hear cases beyond the jurisdiction of other courts. District Courts usually hear most cases related to family law and probate, as well as serious criminal offenses and civil cases regarding $15,000 or more. There is at least one district court location in every county of Colorado, but the counties do not themselves operate the courts. County Courts hear primarily minor criminal offenses and criminal preliminary hearings, as well as limited civil cases. Civil cases heard in County Courts are usually for $15,000 or less, including small claims cases. In Colorado, small claims cases have a maximum amount of $7,500 in dispute. Each county in Colorado has at least one County Court location, but like District Courts, the courts are state-operated, not county-operated. In some counties, County and District Courts share their resources and operate as so-called Combined Courts. Municipal Courts hear cases involving violations of city and town ordinances that occur within their municipal boundaries. District, County and Municipal courts can all hear cases regarding civil protection orders.
