Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

verbal agreement for personal loan

I gave my younger brother $3,000.00 as a personal loan three years ago to help save his home in which he was behind payment on. There was no written contract but I do have witnesses. I have asked several times but no response or money has been paid. Is it possible for me to take him to court to get my money?? Thank you!!

Yes. You can make application in small claims court for judgment against your brother for non-payment of a loan.

Remember that the small claims court where you file the claim must be located where your brother resides.
