Common questions
Can a lawyer represent me in California small claims court?
No. California law does not allow an attorney to appear for a party at the small claims hearing, so you present your own case. We help with the work around that hearing: paperwork, service, strategy, letters, and court-day navigation.
How much can I sue for in California small claims?
Up to $12,500 for an individual and $6,250 for a business entity. Court filing fees are $30–$75 depending on the amount you're claiming.
What does it cost to work with you?
An express phone or video consultation is 45 minutes. Contact us for a quote. Collecting on a judgment starts at $35. Small Claims Partner is listed as prices vary. Comprehensive Analysis, a cease and desist letter, and Court Day Teammate are quoted — contact us for those.
