All you need to do is go to your local clerk of the courts and they will give you the proper filing papers for a small claims court action. You will fill these out and return them and pay a small fee for the other person to be served by the court. This will give a court notice and date. This is all you need to do. There are no many forms that you will need to fill out and you can represent yourself in court without an attorney. This type case is limited in amounts so check first to see if your under the amount for recovery. If so go forward.
