Ten Mistakes to Avoid when going to Small Claims Court
INTRODUCTION Everyone who goes to small claims court goes with one objective in mind: to win. One way to win is to not sabotage your own case by making mistakes that will cost you points in the courtroom
Check out the 10 most common mistakes that can cost you on court day:
1 Heading for court before thinking about alternatives Too many people immediately run to court without checking out other options, like trying to resolve the problem directly by talking to your potential future opponent or through mediation or similar out-of-court settlement services.
2 Failing to prepare adequately Never go to court without taking the time to properly prepare your case. The time to think about proving your case is before you file your case and not after you walk through the courtroom door for your trial.
3 Assuming the judge understands what you’re talking about You have to be able to tell it to the judge in a way that helps her understand the situation and make a ruling supporting your position.
4 Deciding against using a lawyer Lawyers counsel people for a living. So why not talk to someone who knows the ins and outs of court before you go there, possibly for the first time in your life? A lawyer can help you understand the issues and help prep you for trial.
5 Refusing to listen Listening to what is going on in the court with other cases will give you an idea on how things work in real courts. Listening to the judge keeps you on track during the trial.
6 Not making things clear Failing to properly classify your case can have you pursuing the wrong legal theory and presenting evidence that is not only irrelevant but that doesn’t convince the judge your position is correct.
6 Lacking vital information about the court Always do your research and know the rules of the small claims court.
7 Having the wrong attitude Attitude is important. Having a confrontational attitude with the clerk, the court personnel, the judge, and the defendant won’t win you any points and can kill a case where credibility is the issue.
8 Underestimatingyour opponent You may think the person you’re suing is a first-class jerk — after all, you’re right and she’s wrong. But if you think she’s not going to prepare as much, if not more, for the trial than you, you’ll be the one wearing the dunce cap.
