(See below for exceptions.*) The process is quick and cheap. The rules are simple and informal. You are the defendant-the person being sued. The person who is suing you is the plaintiff. DO I need a lawyer? You may talk to a lawyer before or after the case. But you may not have a lawyer represent you in court (unless this is an appeal from a small claims case). How do | get ready for court? You don’t have to file any papers before your trial, unless you think this is the wrong court for your case.

Ifyou have a claim against the plaintiff, and the claim is appropriate for small claims court as described on this form, you may file Defendant's Claim (form SC-120) and bring the claim in this action. If your claim is for more than allowed in small claims court, you may still file it in small claims court if you give up the amount over the small claims value amount, or you may file a claim for the full value of the claim in the appropriate court. If your claim is for more than allowed in small claims court and relates to the same contract, transaction, matter, or event that is the subject of the plaintiff's claim, you may file your claim in the appropriate court and file a motion to transfer the plaintiff's 's claim to that court to resolve both matters together. You can see a description of the amounts allowed in the paragraph above titled “Small Claims Court.” Agree with the plaintiff's claim and pay the money. Or, if you can’t pay the money now, go to your trial and say you want to make payments. Let the case "default." If you don’t settle and do not go to the trial (default), the judge may give the plaintiff what he or she is asking for plus court costs. If this happens, the plaintiff can legally take your money, wages, and property to pay the judgment. What if | need more time? You can change the trial date if: You cannot go to court on the scheduled date (you will have to pay a fee to postpone the trial), or You did not get served (receive this order to go to court) at least 15 days before the trial (or 20 days if you live outside the county), or You need more time to get an interpreter.
