Re: Small Claims Missouri
If you can prove that your damages are greater than $3k, then you may be able to obtain a judgment for that larger amount. Depending upon what you claimed in your original complaint, you may need to seek leave to file an amended petition. It is probably time to hire legal counsel to represent you.
Good Luck
