PA Small Claims
REPRESENT YOURSELF ON PENNSYLVANIA SMALL CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS APPEALS
Affordable Justice
Our mission is to provide you with the tools you will need to represent yourself for PA small claims, both in civil cases before magisterial district judges, and, when hiring a lawyer is not economically practical, on appeals from district court judgments in the county court of common pleas.
Other web sites offer small claims court document preparation at higher cost and without particular expertise in small claims courts in PA. We are the only site focused exclusively on PA small claims, the only site offering a booklet of procedural and evidentiary tips specific to
Pennsylvania law, and the only site offering the preparation of complaints and other pleadings you will need on appeals from PA small claims court judgments.
Access to PA Small Claims Courts
Many claims go unresolved because of the belief that they are too small for anyone to hire a attorney to pursue or defend. We can help you change that otherwise inevitable fact.
For affordable fixed rates, we will analyze your facts and relevant documents, develop appropriate legal theories for your claim or defense, and draft your civil complaint or counter claim for filing before a magisterial district judge or before the court of common pleas on appeal from a district court judgment.
We offer a downloadable e-booklet, explaining Pennsylvania’s procedural and evidentiary rules, traps and pitfalls to avoid, as well as all the basics on how to prepare your own case and present your claim or defense in court. We also offer you free links to other web sites, providing you with important information you will need to represent yourself on small claims in the PA courts.
Legal Empowerment
Though the Pennsylvania magisterial district court system was designed to enable people to represent themselves without the expense of legal counsel, it is rarely quite so simple in practice. So, we empower you with the tools you will need when it is not economically practical to hire a lawyer to go to court with you.
Our e-booklet offers a step-by-step explanations of where, when and how to file your claim or counterclaim, how to prepare your case for hearing, and how to present your case so as to maximize your chances for success without having to pay the often prohibitive costs of hiring a lawyer to go the district court with you.
Under our Your Rights page, we offer a summary of potential legal rights and remedies that may be valuable to you in the preparation of your case and the presentation of your case in court. Under our Why SCA page, we provide detailed explanations of the pros and cons of filing in district court vs. filing in the court of common pleas, and the pros and cons of going to court with and without a lawyer.
And for an affordable fixed rate, we will review the facts of your case, assess your claims, and draft either your district court filings or your complaint or answer, new matter and counterclaim on appeal from a district court judgment to the county court of common pleas.
