Has anyone here been on the receiving end of a small claims suit? I'm doing research on an upcoming blog post. I will quote/link to you if you desire, or keep you anonymous if you desire. TIA

I've neither been sued nor had occasion to sue anybody else, and honestly, I'm hoping I can keep it that way for a good long time. Good luck with your post!

Thanks. It looks like we are going to be able to avoid the suit we were facing, but I'd still like to be able to put together a list of helpful tips in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation.

I haven't been sued, but have done a lot of suing. Most of the lawsuits I have prosecuted were not in small claims court, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

I have filed suits against several different companies in small claims court, but personally have never been sued myself.

I have threatened to sue, but never have. Always settled after a demand letter.

Remember, in a majority of cases, the only winners in a lawsuit are the lawyers.

Well, for those who have threatened to sue but were able to avoid going to court, what did you or the other party do to avoid that outcome? How did things get to that point in the first place? What
concessions were made?
Abrabender,
Any input on the actual legal proceeding would be appreciated.

How did the process go? Did you need a lawyer or defend yourself? What advice would you give to someone going through the same thing?

I didn't use a lawyer. I didn't win my suit, but did win on the counter-suit. I would do some serious research on the laws and gather a ton of evidence to prove your case. Be very direct in court and prove beyond any doubt that you are correct in the eyes of the law.
Many small claims suits do not allow lawyers (and it is not worth the cost, which can be more than the suit). If you are friends with any lawyers, couldn't help to ask them for direction.

A former lawyer friend of mine is now being charged with embezzlement of a trust fund that he managed, so be careful who you ask for advice…glad I never took his :)
