Do I have to send a demand letter before filing my small claims case?

Dispute’s perspective on sending a demand letter is simple: it’s up to you.

We can’t advise on what to do with your potential lawsuit. That constitutes legal advice, and we are not lawyers. We’re happy to help you generate, sign and file a small claims document at a courthouse of your choice whenever you decide you are ready.

We always recommend reaching out to your local small claims court and asking if they have any guidelines or rules on such matters. We provide a guide on finding your courthouse on accessing this information if you have any questions.
