How to handle small claims cases
Obtain the paperwork--consisting of a small claims complaint form--from the court in which you wish to bring your claim.
Fill out the paperwork, paying attention to the details.
They must be completed carefully or the court can deny a hearing.
File the paperwork in the county in which your case will be heard. Usually, this will be the location where damage occurred, but ask the county clerk if you are uncertain as to appropriate jurisdiction.
