How To Try And Resolve A Small Claims Case Yourself

How should I try and resolve a small claims case myself?

It's always a good idea for parties to try to resolve the cases themselves. Of all the cases that are filed in court, if you add it up civil and criminal cases, less than five percent actually go to trial. You should always try to resolve a case amicably, before you file suit, and even after suit is filed and there's a lawsuit. Maybe the parties are a little angry at each other. It's always a good idea to try to say "look, can we work this out, so that we both can end up satisfied?" This is so that we're not just throwing a lot of time, and money, and aggravation into something that maybe we can get rid of. Maybe try to bring in a third party, like a mediator. Somebody who can help bridge the differences.
