We have a young client who owns and operates his own business here in Los Angeles. Recently, he was sued in Small Claims Court for $10,000 for breach of contract. Small Claims Court is available for lawsuits of $10,000 or less. Trials are handled in front of a Judge alone without a jury, and are decided relatively quickly after a short presentation of the facts Since these are relatively small amounts in dispute, by law, individual and companies using the Small Claims procedure cannot be represented by an attorney in Court. However, they are free to consult an attorney in preparing for Court. This client consulted with us, and after reading the lawsuit and hearing the facts, we help him put together a presentation of the case and organized his evidence for a reasonable fee. His hearing took place earlier this week and the Court ruled completely in his favor. Contact us if you have been sued with a Small Claims lawsuit for a consultation.
