INTRODUCTION

To my readers,

The purpose of this blog is to familarize you with a specific court that is different and unique from any type of court. Small Claims Court is a place where it is an option to go to try to recover claims of up to $5,000. Small Claims is basically like people's court. Small Claims is a court that handles civil claims for small amounts of money. People often represent themselves rather than hire an attorney. It is an informal and relatively inexpensive method of resolving disputes. There is a fee to file a claim, and later there may be other costs for such things as serving orders, payments to witnesses and travelling expenses.
