Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

Small Claims court

What is the largest amount you can ask for in small claims court & do I need to hire a lawyer? My daughter's ''friend'' used her credit card and charged many things, also used her phone to make many calls that were not local. What recourse do we have?

Re: Small Claims court

Small claims is usually less than $1750.

To file your claim you can pick up the forms from any of the District Courts. Make sure you have receipts showing what was purchased, so there is no doubt of what your damages are. In the next few weeks, I will have all of this information and the appropriate Michigan forms posted FREE!! on ezproper.intenseculture.com,

so stay tuned!
