General Civil (up to $25,000)

Civil court is designed for disputes involving amounts of $25,000.00 or less. You have the right to a jury trial, the right to be represented by an attorney and the right to an appeal beyond this court.

The simple fact that the court decides in your favor does not automatically mean that the defendant will pay the judgment and costs. You may have to take additional legal steps (ie. garnishment, execution) to obtain your money, and in the end, success in collecting may depend upon whether the other party has the money to pay you.

The court does not appoint a court appointed attorney for civil matters.

Corporations must be represented by an attorney.
