తరచుగా అడిగే ప్రశ్నలు
Do I need a lawyer for small claims court?
In most states, lawyers are not required and some states do not allow them. You represent yourself, present evidence, and the judge makes a decision, usually the same day.
What if my claim is slightly over the limit?
You can voluntarily reduce (waive) the excess amount to stay within the limit. This forfeits the difference but saves time and attorney fees.
