Small Claims Service

“Service” or “service of process” are the legal terms used to describe the act of giving notice of a lawsuit or court hearing to another party. There are several different methods and very specific time limits by which you must have the other party served. The type of service you are required to use depends on the type of forms you are filing. If you do not have the other party served properly (within the correct time limits and using the correct method), the court cannot hear or decide your case.

Below you will find basic instructions for handling your court matter and most of the forms you will need to get from the beginning to the end of the process.
