The court costs are less in small claims court and you don't need an attorney, but if you hire one, his or her fee is usually less than it would be for a regular lawsuit. You can recover triple damages plus attorney fees from a defendant against whom you have at least three unpaid small claims judgments. Don't wait too long to start a suit against someone who owes you money. The longer you wait, the worse your chances are of collecting. The best way to protect your rights as a creditor is to consult an attorney before it is too late.
Preventive law is always the best policy.
