Re: need legal adivice

Yes, you probably could. The issue is whether a small claims court here has jurisdiction over him because he lives elsewhere.

That is an interesting question regarding long-arm jurisdiction.

If I were advising you, I'd say file it and be prepared to explain to the Court why it has jurisdiction.

You can serve via certified mail.

Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
