Do I need to have an attorney in small claims court?
If you are a business, you are required to have an attorney represent you in small claims court. Individuals are permitted to represent themselves, but it is prudent to be represented by an attorney. How long will my litigation take? It depends. In New Jersey, cases are separated into different tracks that determine how long the discovery period is. The more complicated the litigation, the higher the track, and the longer it will take to resolve the litigation. In certain circumstances, a party may seek emergent relief and obtain a temporary injunction to preserve their rights. Click HERE to learn more about the litigation process.

These alternative dispute resolution methods can help keep litigation costs down. Whether your case can be resolved without litigation depends on the facts of the case. We can advise you on alternative dispute resolution and represent you through mediations and arbitrations. |
