Individuals may represent themselves in any civil matter and, in most jurisdictions, corporations are not required to be represented by counsel in small claims matters.*  Attorneys typically charge up to 40% of any  judgments they receive on behalf of their clients in contingency matters, or the attorneys might charge as much as $200 or $300 an hour to handle such matters.  This might be cost effective in extreme, overly complex or difficult cases, but under most circumstances you are simply leaving money on the proverbial table. 

As with any civil case seeking monetary damages, the basic process you need to follow is:

1.  File a lawsuit against the person who caused you or your property harm;
2.  Prove that the defendant owes you the money at issue;
3.  Obtain a judgment against the defendant; and
4.  Collect the judgment, either outright or, if necessary, by garnishing wages or attaching property. 

In many cases, defendants will fail to respond to the law suit, ignoring the court's summons.  In such cases, the process of obtaining a judgment becomes even simpler because, in most jurisdictions, if you have obtained proper service on the defendant,  you can obtain a default judgment.  Moreover, in some jurisdictions an accelerated judgment can be obtained without the plaintiff having to even appear at trial.  Check the instructions provided with your small claim package to find out if this option is available in your jurisdiction.  You can also call the Legal Advice Line at 888-367-5252 and, for a small, fee you can talk to an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction regarding any special or specific requirements.

Up to now, small claim cases have been a tedious process because of the many steps involved. We created SmallClaim123.com to provide all of the services you need with one-stop shopping that makes the process as easy as 1-2-3!  

As an added bonus, all court and filing fees are customarily added to the amount of the judgment, i.e., in most jurisdictions the defendant pays these fees in addition to the amount of the debt. Consequently, you may be reimbursed up to 100% of the fees charged by our service when you collect your judgment.  Moreover, any of these expenses that are not reimbursed by the court are TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

*Individuals can represent in themselves court in an action to collect any amount but corporations are generally required to be represented by an attorney in most matters.
