Sep 29, 2022 at 22:44 comment added ohwilleke Normally, small claims court is not a mandatory option for plaintiffs. Instead it is usually an option available to plaintiffs who can also choose a non-small claims limited jurisdiction court where lawyers are allowed. And, even if lawyers don't represent you at trial, you would often get a little coaching from a lawyer in advance. Also, your own time isn't worthless in most cases and even in small claims court the defendant usually isn't barred from having a lawyer (albeit in a few rule environment where being one doesn't help as much).
Sep 29, 2022 at 17:13 comment added Nicholas Wouldn't any lawsuit for a value under the state defined limit ($5000 in PA?) automatically go to small claims court? I thought lawyers were not allowed there, so legal fees would amount only to the filing fee?
