Small Claims Information
Small Claims Court is an informal court where individuals can sue for money only, up to $3,000, without an attorney. A filing fee of $10 is due if your claim is $1000 or less, and $15 if claim is more than $1000.
You may be represented by an attorney at your own expense, but it is not necessary since Small Claims Court is meant to be a people’s court where claims may be tried speedily, informally, and inexpensively.
Anyone over 18 years of age can bring an action in Small Claims Court. If you are younger than 18, a parent/guardian may file the claim for you. Corporations, partnerships, associations, or assignees cannot sue in Small Claims court, but they can be sued. In order to bring a small claims action against someone in the Town of Clarkson, the person you wish to sue must live or own a place of business within the Town of Clarkson. You will be required to supply the correct spelling of the person’s name and their current address.
