Small Claims Court
The
desire to file a small
claims suit could result from an auto accident,
property damage, landlord/tenant dispute, collection of personal debt,
etc.
Every year many ordinary citizens without extensive knowledge of
the legal system successfully reach resolutions through small claims
court (referred to as magistrate court in some states).
The fact that
attorneys or paralegals are usually excluded from appearing or participating
with the plaintiff or defendant in a small claims suit, makes it even
more simple and straightforward.
The
official completion of a small claims court filing can be easily completed
online through LegalZoom,
the company co-founded by attorney Robert Shapiro which has helped over
1 million customers prepare legal documents quickly and efficiently, therefore
eliminating the need to file in person at the courthouse in the applicable
jurisdiction..
