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.
