The district court judge
Then no appeal.

ignored/waved off my objections and evidence - in hindsight I had too much evidence (70+ pages) and he did not want to look at it.
Quite possible you went into SMALL claims court thinking you could emulate Clarence Darrow. Perhaps the judge felt that the defendant's defense was valid despite your copious evidence.

I should have limited it to the most relevant against the claims. Even though the defendant counsel admitted to fault in email and in court.
Fault for what? Without details of the case there's no way to comment on that.

The case was dismissed with prejudice.
Then the case wasn't decided on its merits. You must have really been over the top with it to get dismissed with prejudice.

Yes I'm referring to 42 USC 1983 - the 14th amendment guarantees equal protection under the law. If I am not allowed an attorney while the defendant is in small claims - isn't that a violation of due process and civil rights? If not, please explain why?
You got equal protection. You had your day in court. That it didn't go well for you is not a violation of anything. Without details about the case and what happened in court (not just the results) there is no way of knowing whether the appearance by an attorney prejudiced your case.
