Being named as a defendant in a small claims case can be a frustrating experience. Luckily, there are a few things defendants can do to better position themselves before they even step foot in the courthouse.

As attorneys who represent small and medium-sized businesses, we get a lot of questions about small claims court.  As such, we've put together a series of articles entitled Small Claims, Big Impact, which will explain how the small claims court process works and why it’s important for every individual, freelancer, and business to understand the purpose and functioning of small claims court. 

Chapter 1 dispels some common myths and provides the basics behind the small claims court.  Subsequent chapters will roll out over the next few weeks, so be sure to check back regularly for the next installment in our Small Claims, Big Impact series.  We hope you enjoy it.
