Small Claims Court

How Do I Get Started?

First you will prepare a Notice of Small Claim form that is provided by the clerk.

You are required to sign the Notice in the presence of the clerk, unless otherwise instructed by the court.

On the Notice form a hearing date, trial date, or response date will be entered by the clerk.

It is the plaintiff's responsibility to accurately identify the defendant, provide a proper address and, if possible, provide a phone number.
