SMALL CLAIMS COURT RESPONSE PACKAGE
Fee: $249
The We The People® Small Claims Court Response Package can help you if you are being sued in small claims court and want to respond and "countersue."
If you think the person suing you owes you money or hurt you, you can sue them. This is called "countersuing". An individual cannot ask for more than $10,000 in a claim. If you want to ask for more than $10,000 you need to sue in the civil division of the superior court and not in small claims court. This is not something We The People can assist you with. If you want to file a countersuit, you must first ask the plaintiff (the person who sued you) to pay the money you think you are owed. If they do not pay, and you want to sue, a We The People Small Claims Court Response Package may be appropriate.
After filing your paperwork with the court you must let the other party know you have filed a countersuit. Someone other than you must hand or mail a copy of your form to the other person at least 5 days before your hearing. This is called "service.

MORE ABOUT SMALL CLAIMS
Small Claims Court is a special court that allows ordinary people to take a legal action against other individuals or entities in court, provided certain conditions are met, where disputes are resolved quickly and inexpensively. The rules are simple and informal and can be a quick and inexpensive way to collect a debt on your own. The court procedures are informal, not intimidating, and a judge, instead of a jury, usually decides the case. Any individual, business or corporation may bring a small claims suit for the recovery of money when the amount requested is $10,000 or less.
There are different kinds of cases that are heard in small claims court. The most common are: car accidents, property damage, landlord/tenant rent deposit disputes, and collection of money owed.
If you're suing someone, you must go to court. You can't send anyone else (even a lawyer) to represent you in court. But there are some exceptions. For example:
- You may not have to go to court if: (1) you are serving on active duty in the armed forces, (2) you were assigned to your duty station after your
claim arose, and (3) your assignment is for more than six months.
- If you are the only owner of a business, you must go to court unless the claim can be proved by evidence of a business account in which case a
regular employee with knowledge of that account may represent you.
- If you have a partner, one of you must go.
- If the business is a corporation, an employee, officer, or director must go to court. That person can't be hired just to represent the corporation.
Please note that We The People® cannot assist you if you a filing a suit against a governmental entity.
