Legal Options for Defendants in a Small Claims Case
As a defendant, you have a few legal options in a court case. First, you have every right to file a counter claim against the plaintiff (the person taking you to court). This counter claim could be due to the plaintiff owing you money or because he or she is liable for damages. If your case and that of the plaintiff are related, the court will hear both cases at the same time.
The defendant should let the plaintiff and court know at soon as possible that they plan to file a counter claim. If you are unsure whether you can still place a defendant’s claim, give the experts at SmallClaimsOnline.com a call. We will walk you through the procedure and get the proper paperwork organized and sent out, saving you a lot of time throughout the process.
