Litigation in Small Claims Court - Disputes under $6,000
For most disputes under $6,000, Small Claims Courts can be very beneficial, less costly, and gain parties quicker results. Sometimes a party can handle that themselves with advice and help in preparation from an attorney, as to what really needs to be presented to the judge and the approach in presentation.
In Small Claims Courts almost any evidence can be presented as long as it tends to prove or disprove the issues in the case. The Small Claims judges are very good about allowing evidence. Hearsay evidence, statements by individuals not a party to the lawsuit and not in Court, can be presented. Whitmore & Associates would be happy to discuss this with you.
Use of Mechanic Liens and other Liens
Where another business owes monies for goods or services provided by your business, the use of mechanics liens or a security interest on specific goods or furnished goods can provide leverage and assist in getting the delinquent obligation paid.
