How To File A Small Claims Case

How do I file a small claims case?

Small claims court cases are designed to be the easiest for members of the public to use. You simply go down to a small claims court, go to the clerk's office, and they will have a form. Generally, you just fill in names, you check off the kind of case it is, maybe you write down how much you want in damages, and file it. There is normally a nominal filing fee, maybe $10.00 in a lot of states, $20.00, and then you have it served. You can either get a friend to serve it or the Marshall will serve it on the person you are suing.
