Small Claims Court
Small Claims Court is designed for resolving monetary disputes of up to $35,000. It’s often where individuals and businesses go to recover unpaid debts, settle contract disputes, or seek compensation for damages. The process is intended to be simpler and more accessible than higher courts, but it still involves specific legal procedures and documentation. A paralegal can be an invaluable asset in navigating this system.
