Small Claims Overview:

Don’t take the law into your hands; take them to court!  If someone owes you money or your landlord refuses to return your security deposit, or you were involved in an auto accident, you can file a small claims lawsuit to recover for your damages.  Small claims trials are scheduled usually within 45 to 60 days of the date of filing.  The trial is informal and no attorney can represent any of the parties.  The judge listens to both sides, reviews your evidence (bills, photos, estimates, and other exhibits) and issues a ruling right away or sends you his/her decision within a couple days of the trial.  You don’t have an infinite time to file your claim.  You have to file your claim within the appropriate time (Statute of Limitations) or else you lose your rights. 

Here's how it works:
