The legal advice you received is open for debate. Most courts will require you to sue the business (defendant) in the state where the transaction occurred (California).
Also, I'll go out on a limb and say the amount of money we are talking about here wouldn't justify any legal action. Just to retain a lawyer in California, you are looking at a decent amount of money that you may or may not be able to get back.
I'd cut your losses (time) and take the refund.
