Small Claims FAQs

How do I win my small claims case?
To win your case, the most important thing is to be organized. Here are some pointers:

  • Determine the main points you want to make.
  • Read what you wrote in your complaint and be able to explain it.
  • Be clear on damages that you’re seeking and why the defendant owes you that amount.
  • Organize documents (receipts, cancelled checks, record of telephone calls, etc.) so you won't fumble when retrieving them to back up a point.
  • Line up witnesses with direct knowledge of the facts or “expert” witnesses (a mechanic, for example), and make sure you have a pretty good idea what of they’ll say.
