Thinking about filing a small claims case? Before you can move forward, you’ll need to show that your damages fall within the court’s monetary limits — and, most importantly, ensure that the defendant is properly served with legal notice. That’s where Nationwide Legal Support Service steps in. Our team specializes in serving all types of small claims documents, including Proof of Service, Requests to Amend Claim, Notices of Entry of Judgment, Notices of Appeal, and Plaintiff’s Claim and Order to Go to Small Claims Court.

Small claims court is designed to resolve everyday disputes quickly and affordably. Whether a landlord refuses to return your security deposit, someone has damaged your property and won’t pay, a tenant left unpaid costs after moving out, your vehicle was damaged and the other party refuses to compensate you, or you loaned money that hasn’t been repaid — these cases typically involve amounts under $10,000.

Unlike higher courts, small claims cases follow simplified rules and procedures. There’s no jury, and both parties usually represent themselves without an attorney. Hearings are typically informal but still require proper documentation and valid service of process before the case can proceed.

If a defendant has been legally served but fails to appear at the hearing, the court may issue a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff. That’s why professional and timely service of process is a critical step in any small claims action.

At Nationwide Legal Support Service, we ensure that every document is delivered correctly, on time, and in accordance with court regulations — giving you confidence that your case can move forward without unnecessary delays.
