Is filing a lawsuit in small claims court complicated?
In the majority of states, the paperwork consists of a one-page form. It asks for the filers name, address and phone number. The name and address of the person or business being sued. If suing a corporation it also asks for the name and address of the registered agent. When suing a corporation the summons is always served upon the registered agent. The amount, not including court costs and filing fees, that is being sued for and a summary of the basis of the lawsuit, i.e., breech of contract, etc. If there are questions ask to speak to the court clerk who may assist in filling out the form.
