Civil litigation is a very drawn out process and challenging if you are pro se. What claims are you considering bringing and what damages are you looking for?

If you’re thinking about bringing it as a tort, then I would ask for a mediation (settlement) conference as soon as possible (use a caseflow request). If you “want your day in court” or for your “voice to be heard,” the civil litigation system will be deeply disappointing for you. It’s only about money (damages).
