Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

As a plaintiff in Small Claims Court, you do not have the right to appeal the judgment in favor of the defendant. Part of your establishing a case for whatever you sued for was to produce sufficient evidence to overcome the defendant's "lies and mistatements." In theory, you can file a new suit in the Superior Court, as a limited jurisdiction matter, but again, you will probably lose if you cannot provide evidence to counter the defendant's version of the story. Superior Court is also much more complex, and probably will require an attorney.
