Small claims court can be confusing, yet sometimes it’s the best path to solve small legal issues. For example, tenants sometimes need to take their landlord to small claims court over issues like withheld security deposits or unaddressed repairs.
If you’re navigating small claims court, you may be looking for answers to questions like, What forms need to be filed? What are the deadlines? How do I present my case effectively on my own?
ELAP is hoping to shed some light on these mysteries in a new video webinar. ELAP volunteer attorney Josh Schaer will walk you through what the small claims process is like in King County. This is a free, 30-minute pre-recorded webinar.
The webinar covers:
- Small claims court filing fees
- How to file a small claim (for example, against a landlord)
- What mediation is and the benefits of it
- How to prepare yourself for trial
- Appeals
- Much more
