Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Hampshire

Contact after a Small claims paperwork has been served

I am trying to find out if it would be permissable or even frowned upon by a judge to contact the defendant in a small claims case to offer by phone, one last attempt to settle the debt before going to court. Are there any contact limitations in such a situation? Also if witnesses may need to be subpoenaed, is it advisable to point that out to the defendant?

No,in fact judges LOVE SETTLEMENTS. As long as you are both unrepresented (by attys) there is nothing which prohibits you from trying to come to agreement short of a court hearing.
