Small Claims

Small Claims matters are handled by the Magistrate Court.

If you cannot resolve a dispute with a business or a person and the amount in controversy is less than $15,000, you may electronically file a case in Magistrate court. You may electronically file in your own name without an attorney or you may hire an attorney at your own expense. The Plaintiff (person filing the suit) must prove to the Judge that he/she is entitled to receive compensation from the Defendant (person being sued).
