Small Claims and Litigation
Small claims courts were invented for just that--minor issues that still need a little legal structure to get resolved. Whether someone owes you money or if you're dealing with an eviction or some other kind of sticky disagreement, we can help you prepare and file your matter in a small claims court so that everything gets resolved and you can move on with your life.
Small claims courts want you to at least try to make nice with the other party outside of court, but if that's not happening you can sign an affidavit saying that you tried your best. Then, you might want to download our free small claims worksheet. This small claims form takes you step-by-step through the process so that you have all your ducks in a row before filing with a small claims court. If you go to litigation and get a chance to tell your side of the story to a judge, you'll want to back up your claim with some evidence. Assuming the judgement falls in your favor, we have a free demand for money owed form that can help speed up the process of you getting what you deserve.
