Get ready for small claims

Before you file a small claims case, there are things you have to do or should think about.

Some things everyone has to do. For example, you have to:

  • Figure out who owes you money, how much, and the legal reason why
  • Learn about the small claims laws and process
  • Decide if small claims court will get you what you need
  • Ask the other side for the money owed
Go through each step before you start a case.
