Re: question on law suit from California to New York

Generally, lawsuits are heard in the court that the plaintiff chooses - assuming one thing, which is that the court has a way to have control over your company - what lawyers call jurisdiction.

Small claims courts - at least in New York - can not hear cases with damages above $3500.00, and generally do not have jurisdiction over defendants not resident in or having a business location in their area.

If your company is sued, you will not be able to represent your company. The law requires that corporate defendants be represented by licensed attorneys.

If you are sued and need representation, or if you want to get in touch with someone to discuss your issues, please feel free to contact me either via e-mail or at 9148619119.
