What is the name of your state? Colorado
I am sueing a small company over a dispute. I was contacted by the attorney that is representing this company. This case is in small claims court. He said he was going to file a notice of representation. As I read the rules for small claims court for Colorado it doesn't appear he can, but he claims he can.
Rule 520 states: No Attorneys. Except as authorized by section 13-6-407, CRS rule 509(b)(2), no attorney shall appear on behalf of any party in the small claims court.
13-6-407 Allows for pro se representation and instances where the attorney is a full time employee, officer, etc. and rule 509 restates much of 13-6-407.
None of these exceptions apply to this attorney, what other grounds can he use for filing a notice of representation?
Thanks,
Robert
