Small Claims Process
1
Send a Demand Letter
Before filing, most California courts require you to try resolving the issue first. A certified demand letter clearly stating your claim and deadline for payment is often the first step—and we can help draft it.
2
File the Small Claims Case
We prepare your "Statement of Claim" and ensure it's filed with the correct courthouse based on jurisdiction. We’ll handle all paperwork for individuals, LLCs, and corporations.
3
Serve the Defendant
Once filed, your case must be legally served to the defendant(s). Our registered process servers deliver your documents and file the Proof of Service with the court—ensuring compliance with California law.
4
Present Your Case in Court
We’ll help you prepare your case presentation, organize your evidence, and know what to expect in the courtroom. Judges appreciate clarity and preparation—so do we.
5
Judgment & Collection
If you win, the court will issue a judgment. If the defendant fails to pay, we’ll help you enforce the judgment using wage garnishments, bank levies, or a court-ordered examination of their assets.
Judgment Enforcement Services
If you’ve already won your case but haven’t been paid, we offer post-judgment enforcement, including:
Abstract of Judgment
Wage Garnishment
Bank Levy
Order to Appear for Examination
Lien Recording & Asset Search
Enforcing a judgment can be complex—but our team can handle it efficiently, professionally, and legally.
