The title shouldn’t fool anybody. Small claims court does not necessarily mean that trivial things are considered before the bench. People will sue in small claims courts and while there are states that limit the amount to $5000 or less, there are others such as Tennessee that permit up to $25,000. What stands out in small claims court is that the attorney is typically not present in the courtroom. An individual will present his or her case alone. That can be very daunting for many people and a group legal plan that provides for advice and assistance is something very worthwhile.
Preparation Of Evidence
A needed service to get ready for small claims court is preparation of the evidence to be presented. A layman does not always understand what evidence is important and an attorney can help organize information. Another obstacle are the rules and regulations that govern small claims court cases. They can be different from one jurisdiction to another. Group legal services which interpret the procedures for an individual can expedite all of the work. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services includes in its Personal Legal Protector Plan an option that will allow for advice in preparation of small claims matters.
It goes beyond just getting the facts ready. A Countrywide attorney will be providing advice on what to expect, and what problems could jeopardize a group legal plan members chances in court. A person could win a small claims case but the court will not do anything to help secure the judgment. It is up to the individual to do that. Here is where the group legal services offered by Countrywide can be extremely beneficial. A Countrywide attorney will help with the filing necessary paperwork to secure from the defendant what is owed. This could include garnishment of wages or placing a lien against the defendant’s property. A Countrywide attorney will do what is necessary to help, and that includes writing letters and making telephone calls on behalf of the plan member. The chances of obtaining what is rightfully due are greatly enhanced by this dedication to service.
