Lawsuits under $35,000 fall under the Small Claims Court umbrella. These lawsuits are governed by different rules, and have unique timelines, forms and documents.

Examples of lawsuits that fall under the Small Claims Court’s jurisdiction are contractual disputes, minor real estate and property disputes, zoning disputes and injury and damage claims, again under the threshold of $35,000.

While a lawyer can and sometimes should be hired to act for you in a Small Claims lawsuit, it is often more economical to have a paralegal act for you instead.

At Marshall Law, our paralegals benefit from working closely with our lawyers, and in many instances your case will benefit from having the input of multiple members of our Litigation Group. This team-approach to prosecuting or defending claims results in better strategizing and presentation of your case, oftentimes leading to superior outcomes for you.

If you are unsure whether your matter might be handled by one of our paralegals, or how you should deal with a problem that you believe might fall under the Small Claims umbrella, please call us to discuss it with a member of our staff.
