ST. LOUIS — Maybe you’ve heard about small claims court but don’t know exactly what that means or what takes place there. Andy Crouppen, from Brown & Crouppen, is here to explain.
Andy says that small claims court is exactly what it sounds like. It is for people who have small matters to resolve between them and someone else. It is also not usually something big enough to justify hiring a lawyer for. It is set up so the two parties can come together and try to resolve the matter, and a judge is present.
Andy goes on to say that in Missouri small claims court, the most you can be awarded is $5,000 and it can only be a monetary award. In Illinois, there are some other things that can be awarded, and the amount cannot exceed $10,000.
