The Small Claims Court is a special civil division of the District Court where individuals as well as businesses can settle disputes and disagreements. The maximum amount you may sue or be sued for is $3,000.00. Procedures are simple, informal, and inexpensive. There are no juries and you may appeal before the judge with or without an attorney.
