Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Get prepared. Depending on the value of the belongings she is claiming will determine whether she can sue you in DJ court or in Common Pleas Court. If it's over $8000 it has to go to Common Pleas. Further if she asks for Replevin (an order that asks for the belongings back) she'll have to file in Common Pleas Court.

The major difference is that in DJ court it is much more informal. In Common Pleas she will need a lawyer. I suppose she could draft a complaint but it gets much more complicated than DJ Court.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
