Small Claims Won’t be a Nightmare
People enjoy watching court television shows, but very few people are going to be in such situations. The reason is not just that many cases are negotiated before trial; most issues are handled at the lower level of the judicial system. Small Claims Court is where many people will have their proverbial day in court. You will not have a lawyer at your side, but a good group legal plan can provide the right type of help.
Small claims cases are ordinarily no more than $5000 in value. These can be disputes over property or issues about a purchase. Individual ordinarily would not have an attorney in court with him or her. Instead, a person has to present the case. It is why the other party is rarely worried.

It is understandable that a person gets frustrated putting together all the information for the small claims court case. Not knowing what to do makes people hesitate. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has a nationwide network of highly competent attorneys. These are the people who will help in preparing the case. Lawyers will also give advice on how to present the facts and evidence in front of the bench. The Countrywide group legal plan member is thus equipped to argue the case.
A plaintiff may win the case, but it does not matter too much. The reason is that small claims court does not have the staff to pursue the settlement. The plaintiff must do that. Fortunately, Countrywide has some secondary pre-paid legal services available. The attorney can provide additional assistance to help get the money.

These requested options will be part of the final plan document.
