Any idea of the ball park costs for such consultation?

I'm looking at taking two parties to small claims court, over ~$1,000 USD, and wonder if it's worth the fees to seek legal guidance.

Nope, not worth it. Cheap lawyers are ~$250/hour.

Seems unlikely, at least in Australia it's common for lawyers to be $400+/h; even for a relatively simple case I was looking to have a lawyer review an employment contract.
